Shannon is down to earth, like a friend. She doesn’t feel too… what’s the word, clinical…. ? Just comfortable and professional.

I have nothing but good things to say about Shannon. She listens, has empathy, and will be very straight forward. I love the fact she doesn’t best around the bush about anything but is also very professional in the way she speaks with you. I’m so glad I joined BetterHelp. I think this will be good for me! I’m excited to see where this takes me
