Susan has been the catalyst in allowing me to grow and promote my relationship with myself. She is empathic and most of all helps me balance the scales with whatever I’m dealing with which is something I really struggle with. I’ve recommended BetterHelp to everyone who asks me about my journey with therapy and I’d recommend Susan to anyone I care about because she has been so lovely all around and extremely supportive.
