Shamdrieka jumped right in with me during a stressful time in my life after my mother died. She is an amazing listener and guided me through a difficult time with keen insights. I feel much more grounded as I navigate this next chapter in my life equipped with new tools in my "toolbox."

Shandrieka has truly helped me regain my confidence and improve so many aspects of my personal relationships. When I first started BetterHelp, I was in a really dark place, but now even my friends and family have noticed a huge difference in me. I feel so much happier and more optimistic about life. Huge thanks to Shandrieka and BetterHelp for making therapy so accessible and easy to use. I’ve already recommended it to two people, and they’re seeing the benefits too!
