These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sylvia Woods. 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.
I have only had one session with Dr Woods and I immediately felt that I was in a safe space. I lost my step father just 4 days before our 1st session and although I did not say very much to her about his transition, talking to Dr Woods helped to ground me a bit as I was struggling with missing him for myself and trying to be present for my family.

After a not loving my first therapist experience Sylvia has really changed my view of what a good therapist can be. I have seen a lot of progress in myself and I know I have her guidance to thank for that.

Sylvia understood my needs right away and was very effective in helping me to reach my goals of expressing my needs and understanding my relationships. With her help I was able to resolve issues that I had no control over and learn to relate successfully within my relationships.
