Dr. Murray is helping me on the path to becoming healthy and whole. She listens and has found ways to help me with tools to improve my relationships, career, personal outlook, self affirmations and finding myself again. I’m a recent empty nester and life right now has changed from what it was a year ago. I thank Dr. Murray for the purposeful sessions.

Dr. Murray is wonderful. She has helped me in so many ways and the growth is continuous. The most important part of meeting with her is spiritual foundation. Knowing and understanding Who and whose you are is so vital. Dr. Murray gives both spiritual and practical insight to situations.

Dr. Murray is extraordinary at what she does. Working with her has been life-changing. The tools she has given me have allowed me to face my challenges head-on and accomplish my goals. She speaks life into me and teaches me how to do it for myself. One of my biggest struggles is seeking validation from others. Dr. Murray taught me to trust God and seek his validation. That has truly been rewarding. I am a testimony of what prayer and a good therapist can do!

Dr. Murray has been such a blessing in my life. I have been seeing her for almost 3 years now and I can go on and on on how amazing she is. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind, and just is genuinely invested in you. She helps me stay on track of things when life is just feeling overwhelming, she encourages and motivates me to do the things I feel that I can’t do or am procrastinating on doing. Dr.Murray is truly amazing at what she does.. the list goes on and on. I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for her and I mean that so much. Thank you BetterHelp for helping me find not just a therapist but MY therapist, my biggest supporter, my confidant, my friend.
