Being matched with Teri as my counselor has been an absolute blessing in my life! I've been talking with Teri for about 3 months now, utilizing both messages and voice calls. I was immediately comfortable conversing with her; Teri has an empathetic warmth that encourages candid openness. She has been kind, dedicated, supportive, patient, and helpful in her guidance for managing anxiety and other issues, all the while maintaining professionalism without ever making me feel like just another client who's forgotten the moment our interaction concludes. I can't recommend her enough!

I’ve only been with Teri for about three months now, but I don’t know what I would do without her! She is kind, has great suggestions and feedback, and is easy to talk to. She responds quickly to messages and has good availability for phone/video appointments. I highly recommend and really appreciate getting to talk to Teri!

Teri has a critical combination: Kindness and wisdom. Her wisdom comes from a wealth of counseling experience. She easily comes through as a real human being who cares and wants to help. I send her a big virtual hug!

Teri has been in my corner since starting BetterHelp. I have never participated in any type of counseling, but my first chat with her was extremely life-giving and instilled a sense of peace I had previously thought was gone completely. I am so thankful for her and our on-going messaging conversations that help me when I do not have time to talk or just need someone to listen. What a gift this site has been.
