She was outstanding, she listened , and gave me confidence in my choices that I was making for my future, which was one of my primary concerns. To sum it up quickly she’s a 10/10 imo

To me, the greatest compliment you can give a therapist is to say that they are a good listener, and Rita LaBrew is a great listener. She hears my my concerns and offers support, understanding and paths to a resolution.

In my 2 sessions with Rita, I have felt more progress than with any other therapist I've had in the last 10 years of therapy I've had.

Hi!! I am very new to better help but it has done wonders in such a short amount of time. Rita is amazing, she makes me feel so comfortable to speak freely, always listening to me, making me feel safe and welcomed. i absolutely LOVE her advice, her books/ documentaries and worksheets she recommends me to research. I’ve had 2 sessions with her and she’s better than any other therapist i’ve had in the past. This was by far the best investment i’ve made within myself and i cannot wait to see where this takes me. thank you rita :)
