Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shashana Carter. 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.

Shashana has such a welcoming and personable demeanor. I can unload such nonsensical emotions and thoughts without judgement from her. I feel so comfortable being completely vulnerable and honest about my life. I have an overwhelming sense of gratitude for her and her expertise and advice. It’s beyond evident that she truly cares. I highly recommend anyone in need to consider Shashana as their therapist.

She is an amazing therapist. She seems to always know how to connect with me.

She gets me, she understand me. Most importantly she does not tell me what to do, she allows me to work through the situation.
