I’ve been doing therapy with Rena for about a year now in what I can certainly call the most challenging and difficult year or my life. She’s extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I’m really thankful and highly recommend her.

Rena has changed my life. I have been going to therapy off and on for 8 years. I have had multiple therapists, and I have trouble trusting therapists due to a bad past experience.
However, early in 2023 I missed the feeling of having a therapist that I can confide in so I decided to give Better Help a try.
I’m not sure if Better Help is just that good at matching people to therapists or if the universe finally made things happen for me, but Rena is truly a too good to be true therapist. I still cannot believe that I learned what I learned from her. If I didn’t meet her I honestly don’t know where I’d be. After years and years of pain I finally believe that I can have a beautiful life. This is all thanks to the inner child work I’ve been doing with Rena to heal the shame that binds me.

I began Better Help therapy w Rena Smith when I was an emotional wreck after a move to a new state where my daughter lived, with my elderly husband w Alzheimers and my 93 year old mother. Rena helped me enormously by promoting healthful thinking, such as letting go of perfectionism, forgiving myself for occasional overeating, implementing breathing exercises and improved sleep hygiene, being kind to myself, celebrating the small victories, farming out tasks, and spending positive time w my husband and mother. All her efforts paid off, as I feel transformed. I cannot thank Rena Smith and Better Help enough, and that is speaking from the bottom of my heart!!!
