These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tawanna Ivey. 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 feel extremely fortunate to have been paired with such a compassionate therapist as Tawanna my very first time giving therapy a try. I don't think there could be a better pairing. Tawanna listens/observes, helps me gather/process what I'm thinking/feeling, suggests helpful activities and/or assessments to bring clarity where it's needed, and has been clear from the beginning that therapy WILL require WORK on my part. As the old saying goes, "nothing changes until you do." Grateful to have Tawanna as I navigate these changes in this season of my life. 10/10 would recommend.

Tawanna has been very personable and allowed me the comfort to be completely vulnerable with her. While it was initially scary to poor out so much to a stranger she felt extremely familiar. I appreciate all that she has done for me with giving me tools to be able to push forward daily.
