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 :)

Even before our first session Dr. LaBrew listened to me, and continued to chat with me and help even before I had an initial session. She is very easy to talk to, very professional, Dr. LaBrew has gone above and beyond for me thus far and I’m confident she will continue to. She has a natural passion for this and it shows through her work
