These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sara Bales. 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.
Sara really has helped me grow as a person.
Before working with her, I found it difficult to navigate my own thoughts and feelings. I now feel as if I have a grasp on my own emotions now.
I can’t stress enough how important this process and her guidance has been to me.
I have not stopped telling everyone I know about the benefits this service has to offer, and how deeply thankful I am for Sara’s presence through it all

Sara respectfully listens to me and offers insightful advice and guidance in response. She also offers various ways to support me such as worksheets and groupinares as well as our video sessions. She is insightful and will come back to a topic I have previously brought up in our sessions which enables me to link behaviours and thoughts together.
