Surilla is a wonderful therapist who really listens and remembers! She always made mee feel so seen and heard. Not only does she offer the attention you need, she offers wisdom. She offered me the tools I needed to be able to make myself feel strong and happy. She reinforced the foundation of my self and self worth. With her guidance I am able to walk through the stress in life much more confidently and effectively.

Surilla is an extremely patient and helpful resource as a therapist. She’s helped me find my emotions (after intellectualizing my feelings for most of my life) and address the core beliefs about myself that keep me in my negative cycles. Very thankful to have found her

Surilla has been a godsend for me - the best therapist I’ve ever had. I can’t sum up in a review how much progress I’ve made through my sessions with her. Most importantly for anyone looking for a therapist, she cares about me as a person and consistently makes me feel heard.

Surilla has been a beacon of light. She is kind, empathetic and encouraging. Always reminding me to ask myself “what do I know to be true”, which really helps me sift through emotional clutter to get me to a place of clarity. From a difficult breakup to parenting my teen and all the little things in between, Surilla has been pivotal in helping me get through the challenges and come out the other end with confidence and more awareness of the importance of having love and appreciation for myself during challenging times.

Surilla is a godsend, the type of therapist that makes people believe in therapy. This woman is INCREDIBLE at what she does. She has a very natural and gentle way of showing you a different perspective, which has helped me personally enhance my strategy for my goals/career (and also rebuild family relationships) because of her insight. She knows when to challenge your viewpoints and when to simply listen. She's kind, empathetic, strong and hilarious at the same time. If you are her client, consider yourself lucky - you are in the best hands possible.

I never thought therapy was for me. Now Approaching age 38 it is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I am really thankful for Surilla & her insight & wisdom. For years, I really wanted to have therapy with African-American woman. One of my reflection. I’m So thankful, BetterHelp gave me the opportunity to choose that. The sky is the limit now for me. I am very Happy with Surilla

Written on Oct 30, 2023 after therapy with Surilla for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, intimacy-related issues, and sleeping disorders
I've only been talking with Surilla for about 2 weeks now. But I use her guidance with me every day. She's helped me understand that I am of value and that I have control of how things affect me. She's helped me open up to things that I pushed away for so long and the skills she's given me to work through my past I use in everyday situations and they're becoming healthy habits. I know healing takes time. And she's the one that's made me see that. I'm so grateful for her and her guidance.

Surilla is a very good listener, and she understands the situations I describe to her. She has helped me a lot since I started therapy. She has guided me to improve my self-care and given many useful resources to help me develop my communication skills. She has also taught me to find the cause of my emotions and feelings so that I can be more aware of them. She is a great therapist, and I'm so glad I got matched with her!

When I started therapy I though it was going to be me doing all the talking, and the therapist just asking how does that make you feel. But it's not like that at all. She goes beyond and talks about that problem for the week, to back to the problems from the past that could lead you to where you are now. Definitely helped me realize something in only a month that we started. I can't wait to see how much she helps me heal myself in the future.

First time I come to therapy and a therapist actually helps me work on myself. It’s not just a venting session.

Couldn't recommend Surilla MORE! She listens very well and is so knowledgeable and precise in her words and information/tips. Even after our 1st session, I felt she understood me and was there to support me in the beginning of my journey to better myself. I look forward to our video chat every week. She is changing my life by showing me how to think in different perspectives that I haven't always thought of before and she does it in such a friendly and gentle manor. I thank God for this wonderful of a therapist. I wouldn't want to meet with anyone else. Thank you, Surilla!
