These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nina Foster. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
At this point I know my issues, I just need support, validation, and a good listener, and Nina fills these needs well. She also gives me tips and tricks I hadn't considered. 10/10, I recommend her as a Therapist.

working with Nina has been a huge game changer for me. she's helping me to discover the root cause of my issues and healthy ways to cope with them. I feel so comfortable and safe talking to her and I'm feeling more and more hopeful that I will, eventually, have all the coping mechanisms I need to start leading a healthier lifestyle.

Nina has been great over the last few months of having sessions with her. I tried several other therapists, but right away I felt good about her. I feel like she listens and hears me very well, but also will call me out on things as needed which I appreciate. I couldn’t recommend Nina enough, she’s great at what she does!

I was a basket case after being sexually abused and ending up in a 24yr marriage to a malignat, grandiose narcissist. I was at the bottom. I started councilling with Nina about a year ago. It was hard work. But I listened and have slowly learned to change the way I thought about myself, as well as others. The councelling helped me see how to be stronger and more positive. I am so happy with all the material this site has to offer.
