I have only had a few sessions with Stella and I wasn’t sure whether a phone set up would work for me. However it has been such a fantastic experience. Stella is warm , knowledgeable and I feel really safe with her. I would highly recommend her.

Brad is a great therapist who is extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding addiction and the disease. He was also supportive, on time and provide services that allowed me to identify the root issues that caused my addiction. I would recommend for anyone looking to start and make strides towards recovery to learn from him.

To put it lightly I love Jen, she listens, she challenges but asks first, she makes you question yourself but also says go easy on you when you are being so hard on yourself. I am so grateful for the relationship I have with her as my therapist. I have seen so much growth myself and her to help me unpack it all is simply a great thing that I hope everyone can find that from their therapist

I am so lucky to have found a virtual “ BetterHelp” therapist I can be heard and understood by, and resolve the inevitable scheduling issues with. Sustaining a relationship with a virtual therapist is a modern behavior! I am grateful for the opportunity and feel so fortunate to have John in my corner to help me navigate through the challenges I’d otherwise face alone and less functionally.

Yoonhee is an amazing therapist. She listens to me and my concerns no matter how small. She comforts me when needed.

I’m new to BetterHelp and to therapy. I was paired with Tory and it was a great onboarding. Tory was patient and carefully listened to my untidy thoughts and reasons why I wanted to start a therapy and he got quickly to work, asking questions and guiding my thoughts to places I wouldn’t naturally go. He helped me reflect, exposed some of my contradictions. I really liked the conversations we had as it always left me feeling a little more optimistic and a little in tune with myself.

Marguerite is such a Godly, spirit-filled woman and has been such an answer to my prayers. She has really helped me walk through a lot of spiritual warfare during my engagement season and how to fight the enemy with the word of God. She has helped me find so much healing through Jesus and I would highly recommend her to anyone!!

Sister Sharon is absolutely amazing! I loved our conversations. I came away from every session smiling and uplifted. We covered many topics - career challenges, toxic boss, family/parent issues, domestic abuse, and my overall personal self-esteem. She helped me use techniques to deal with each issue and I have taken them away to continue applying in my life. I highly recommend her. She is so easy to open up to. Thank you, Sharon!

Review written after working with Rachel Wright for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, eating disorders, self esteem, and anger management
Teal has been wonderful. He hasn't tried to force some magic solution on me or solve all my problems in 30 minutes. He has listened to me and talked with me, constantly responded to me throughout the week in a timely manner, and given me advice that I never would have thought of. I've barely noticed it was therapy, just feels like a quality conversation.

My sessions with Yvonne have become one of the highlights of my week. She has been a great support and ally in helping me deal with challenges in my present day life and also in helping me examine my past and identifying and understanding the links between past events and the way I am now.

Jesse has been phenomenal in helping me process my grief. He’s very polite, friendly and funny. Talking with him feels like talking with an old friend. He’s very supportive, very kind and patient. He’s also a great listener and sets goals for me to complete every week. He’s responsive to my messages and always provides very good insight on everything. I probably don’t deserve such an amazing therapist.

Utilizing that sunny demeanor and charming accent, she navigates our sessions with both thoughtfulness and candidness, leading to meaningful and productive conversations. Her charm isn't just surface-level; it's a reflection of her genuine passion for her work. The way she carefully listens and responds with honesty not only inspires self-discovery but also fosters a comfortable space for growth. She is truly a standout in her field, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I’ve been communicating with AJ for months at this point. My life has taken a turn for the worse lately, but that doesn’t mean my mindset has to. I express my problems to AJ, and he responds with wisdom and strength and resources, etc. I have absolutely no idea what I would do without this guy. Even my worst of feelings are mended with the help of AJ. I brag about him all of the time. I couldn’t do anything without him.

Great experience, she’s very in tune with what’s initially being said. I more focused on a end game idea and she had me back tracking to my initial comments. So much so it was making me misunderstand myself. That was until I actually took her advice went back and dealt with my issues head on. Who knew direct communication with your partner wasn’t so scary after all. Without a doubt this has changed my life and I fell it will continue to do so for the remainder of my relationship.
