These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Szu Ning Lai. 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.
Dr Lai is very knowledgeable in her field…she actively listens, which is important. She gives excellent feedback and ways to help navigate your life much better….

Dr. Lai is, without a doubt, one of the most understanding and relatable people I’ve ever met. At one of the most difficult moments of my life, when depression felt insurmountable, she didn’t just help me cope—she helped me fight. With her wisdom, compassion, and unwavering support, I found the strength to rise and face my demons head-on.
Her presence was never rushed or clinical; she patiently walked beside me, believing in my breakthrough even when I couldn’t see it myself. Because of Dr. Lai, I now live a more thriving, intentional life—not because my circumstances have changed, but because I have. She helped me realize that healing isn’t just about surviving—it’s about becoming the best version of myself, and I’m on that path thanks to her.
I’m endlessly grateful for her guidance, and I truly believe anyone lucky enough to work with Dr. Lai will find not just a therapist, but a life-changing ally.

Dr. Lai has helped me realize I can be a better person through hard work and lets me go step by step. She's also very responsive through the messaging system..like 3am messages.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lai for a couple of months now, and I can honestly say it’s been a really positive experience. From the very first session, I felt comfortable and heard. She has a calm and compassionate approach that makes it easy to open up, and she has been incredibly insightful in helping me.
What stands out to me the most is how present and attentive she is during our sessions. She listens carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and offers helpful perspectives. I’ve already started to notice improvements in how I handle the stress and process my emotions, which I didn’t expect to happen so quickly.
I’m really grateful to have found such a skilled and supportive therapist and look forward to continuing this journey with her. Highly recommend! 100%.
