Nina is amazing and a great listener! She also gives great worksheets that are helping me through my life right now.

Upon seeking out therapy, I knew I had issues that needed addressing, but I really couldn't identify why I act, behave and think the ways I do that are not benefitting me. The counselor offered to me was and is Nina Foster. I'm old and she's young and I'm a man and she's not, but it seems like this is a therapeutic match made in heaven. Nina has listened to me and my problems, listened to my background descriptions and my complexities in life. She's allowed me to talk and describe my troubles and my wishes. Along the way she has defined a direction for my improvements as a person and identified problems in my past, experiences I've lived through, which now affect my behaviors and peace. She's provided worksheets and direction to help me understand where I have been hurt, where I have hurt myself, and ways to progress to solve psychological problems and confusion. I'm just beginning this journey towards understanding and healing and feel confident that Nina can get me to a place where this is the result. Nina has strong credentials and has been on time and involved with me without distraction. I recommend her to others seeking life help and direction.

I’ve had many therapists throughout my life, so when I decided to give BetterHelp a try I was skeptical. Only two sessions with Nina and I feel more heard than I’ve felt from almost every other therapist I’ve had. I’m looking forward to future sessions. :)
