I tried therapy before and it never has really worked for me Susan listens and sometimes that's all I need and then she gives me a perspective that I had not thought of before

Susan is very good and patient. She listens and takes my needs into consideration at every session.
I have been in many a situation mentally that has made me so grateful to have her as my therapist and to have discovered Better Help!

Susan has been a very big help. After only a few sessions, I am beginning to feel more like the person I wanted to be again. She is thoughtful, understanding, asks good questions, and recognizes her clients are people too.

Still early but so far, so good. She's very responsive to my needs and we've only met once. I'm eager to engage in therapy, and maybe couples therapy in the future.
