Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shemica Cole. 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.
For my first time in therapy, Shemica has completely exceeded my expectations!
Shemica is the absolute best. I love working with her. It's been easy to form a connection, she has helped me learn some great coping skills for some of the issues I struggle with. She is so real and authentic, I look forward to every session with her. I greatly appreciate everything that she does.
Honestly, I cannot recommend Shemica on Better Help enough. It has been so convenient and helpful to schedule or reschedule my video live sessions with her. She is true to herself and encourages you to be true to yourself. When she says she appreciates diversity, she means it! As I am working through gender dysphoria right now.
Shemica helps you take things one step at a time. As I struggle with anxiety and worrying over my worries, she helps bring you back to focus on one issue/thing at a time. She helps open up your perspective and get you out of your tunnel vision.
Shemica is one of my favorite people to interact with. It can be so hard to find a good therapist, someone who actually cares about you, is genuine, and shares/respects your values. I recommend Shemica 100,000 percent.
Shemica is kind. Empathetic and caring. I enjoy working woth her. She makes therapy less intimidating.
I would highly recommend Shemica. She's a highly effective professional.
Shemica is a wonderful therapist who listens and provides a lot of wisdom and joy for me in our sessions. She has been a huge help and I look forward to our sessions each week.
Shemica is the first therapist I’ve ever really felt comfortable and safe with. She’s so encouraging and genuinely cares about me. I appreciate her so much.
She is real and cool.
Shemica is wonderful, and has been very helpful to me right from the beginning of our first session. I appreciate her and am already using her advice regularly!
Wonderful human being. She takes such great & detailed care of me!
