Theresa is the kind of therapist that feels personal! Not like a therapist and not like your unpaid best friend. She feels like a trusted close confidant who helps steer you where you need to go and cheers you on. She doesn’t judge and doesn’t make you feel inferior. She’s familiar and her sessions feel like a FaceTime call with a close personal you haven’t talked to in a while. You feel calmer talking with Theresa

Yet, she knows how to guide people in the right direction from the place they are at in their circumstances. She regularly sends newsletters to her clients related to mental health and mindfulness, has you in her thoughts always checking in on you, and is confident in your ability to grow and heal no matter how long it takes.

Since using the BetterHelp app I have experienced exponential growth and healing. Theresa is experienced in traumas and has proven to be extremely effective in her methods. She understands my pain on every level and is able to support me through every stage of my growth. I am humbled by her strength and compassion. I would most certainly recommend everyone to try BetterHelp. I am able to access her via text when I need her the most, to me, this is pivotal; to know that your therapist can and WILL reach back out to you when you need it the most. I am grateful for this service.

Theresa is AMAZING! I initially only planned on using better help for a month or two and then finding a therapist in my insurance network but I’ve loved working with her so much that it’s worth the cost of this app. She listens, offers advice, and challenges my beliefs without scaring me about the change.

I tried a lot of therapists on BetterHelp but only Theresa made me feel heard. She listens and relates to you like a friend. I also appreciate that she keeps checking in via messages once in a while if she hasn't heard from you. She also sends some articles, readings and worksheet, but will tell you that there's no pressure in accomplishing or reading all of them. To read them at your own pace. Most importantly, I never felt like I am just one of her clients or that she's too busy to reply or she's just taking to me cause it's her job (unlike some therapist here in betterhelp unfortunately). I feel that she's invested in my issues just as I am.

Although I’ve only had a couple sessions with Theresza so far, I can tell she is a very down to earth person which makes it easy to connect with her. You can tell she has not only professional but also personal experience with some of the issues I deal with which makes me feel understood. She gives a lot of helpful tools and advice in coping with my issues. A great listener cannot be faked and she definitely is one. I don’t feel judged by her at all, and I can see therapy with her continuing to go well. She also checks in on me without me asking which I appreciate :)

This was my first time seeing a therapist, I am glad I crossed paths with Theresa. I was nervous to be vulnerable, but Theresa made me feel safe and supported. Amongst all of the difficult subjects that were being processed, I appreciated the lighthearted wit that came along during our conversations. The sessions throughout this month was pleasantly wholistic and non judgmental. Theresa offers the tools needed to do self work while offering her own wisdom and insight. I would recommend her to any of my friends or family that needs validation and guidance within their life story. Much gratitude.
