These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sara Sukhija. 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 is polite and punctual, allows me a safe space to discuss concerns.
She has provided me tools to work on but has the emotional intelligence to allow time
For these to be processed.

For the longest time in my life I had no idea that I was allowed to be my own best friend. It was unaware to me that I could be the landmark of safety in my life. There was no-one I could trust with my emotions without having an unhealthy emotional attachment to them. However, through therapy and the support of Sara S there is light… I am bathed in the light of hope, clarity, grace and a playful perspective of my present-future.
In the past I had always viewed therapy as just a space to talk but it’s soo much more than that - well it has been for me. It has been the development of my reprogramming, realignment and new understand of what it means to feel safe in the world that bruised and battered me till the point that I constantly rejected my own self.
I accept myself and truly I am grateful I took accountability of my own mental health then found a therapist. My one true desire is to perpetually stoke the light of my fire for the fire is the journey of my life. The never ending story :)
Thank you for your support and professional friendship, the work I do daily on my own self development is supported by the weekly sessions we have. Grateful!

Sara takes the time to listen to what my worries and thoughts are. She also give me tools and mini challenges to work through to understand myself more, why I am the way I am and decide whether I want to continue this way (why or why not). Speaking with Sara has provided me with a safe space to explore my thoughts and feelings, and she responds to my strengths and needs to tailor the tools and suggestions to me. Thanks Sara!
