Theresa is insightful and poses questions that help me reflect on things I hadn’t thought about before. She also offers up useful tools to help me manage difficult moments. She encourages my growth and development and provides a safe place for me to express my thoughts, my insecurities, and my vulnerabilities.

For the most part, it seems too early to tell, but Theresa is a very kind individual with a lot of helpful insights and a very encouraging way of going about things. My list of concerns regarding my mental health is very long, and I have what I feel is a very complicated history of trauma, and I think we are scratching the surface of the more recent and more pressing issues I have. I have high hopes, though! BetterHelp has definitely been 100% easier than trying to find a therapist by calling dozens of phone numbers seeing who is taking new clients, which I really appreciate!

Theresa is a wonderful counselor! This is my first time ever getting therapy and it was such a relaxing experience. She is patient and just knows the right words to say. She is very helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects. 10/10 would recommend her to anybody I come across.
