Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tihesha Lemon. 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’ve been to therapy a few times, but I never felt I could truly open up with anyone until I began working with Tihesha! She not only listens, but she holds me accountable, gives me strategies, and helped changed my perspective on things. She is the truth. I told her what I needed in a therapist and she hasn’t disappointed.
Tihesha is a wonderful counselor. She is very attentive and offers great advice…tools that I can apply in my everyday life. She has helped me remain calm in a difficult time in my life.
Thank you for your support
Tihesha really listens to me and acknowledges how I've changed over time.
Tihesha has been incredibly patient with me and always is a good listener. She understands what my needs are and if she ever has difficulty understanding something takes the time to process the information and go through things in great detail with me. I'm in a different time zone than her and she has always been flexible about finding a time that works for me and that is something that I greatly appreciate.
I really like her already. She’s wonderful and very intelligent and insightful. Also very wise. I’m glad to really connect instead of just an I talk, she listens kind of way. I’d recommend her guidance and expertise a billion times.
It's only been a month and thanks to Tihesha I am starting to feeli like myself again after 10 years of pain. So grateful
Tihesha has been helpful and understanding! I can’t wait to continue working with her
I find Tihesha a worthy and confident and intelligent Counselor who installs the same into me.
She is a great listener and very understanding
Tihesha is great! She’s easy to talk to & very considerate in her approach as well as relatable! I’ve seen a huge improvement since working with her
I’m the type of person that finds it difficult to talk to about what’s going on in my life, however I don’t feel that way with Tihesha at all. She listens intently and always gives solid steps on how to recognize and recover from pain.
She’s been a helpful person as I build resilience and balance into my wellness plan.
Tihesha asks pointed, good questions and gets to the meat of things quickly. I appreciate this. I'm enjoying working with her.
Tihesha is so wonderful. She listens to all of my concerns and helps me work through them. I highly recommend her!
She’s consistent and patient. She listens well. I feel like she is genuinely concerned and through her approach, she authentically wants to help unlock and promote understanding and growth. She’s bomb.
It was great working through my problems with Tihesha! She is compassionate, patient and totally unjudgmental. I was always at ease when I talk to her and she offers me so much support in discovering myself again. Her insights has given me a lot of empowerment and motivate in finding my inner peace. Life is filled with ups and downs and that's what makes it interesting. Without problems and distress, we would not know what's worth fighting for. Thank you Tihesha for offering so much support that makes my life infinitely better. We need more people life you!
Tihesha is kind and listens to my concerns. She understand what I need help with and does everything she can to make sure I feel like I talked about what I needed to during the session. She also offers great techniques to help me and I can already see improvements after just a couple of weeks.
Tihesha really listens and cares, without judgment, offering understanding and explanation. She also knows you, and she knows when the hard times are hitting the hardest. I stayed sober during the hardest moment - and that's something you need support for.
Tihesha is really makes me feel understood, supported and listened to. She makes me feel she goes above and beyond to give me support. I feel she really cares.
I am grateful to share and not feel so alone. I thought I was going crazy in certain situations and it has been comforting knowing she understands and offers perspective I had not thought of before. I am better able to recognize my triggers and work on myself. She has given me a light to a path I didn’t think was reachable. I got out of rock bottom through her help when I felt like I would be there forever. I am hopeful for my future because of her guidance. A weight was lifted to know it’s okay to not be okay.
She's pretty patient and I extremely admire that about her. She works hard to give me critical and straight forward tips to be better.
She is always spot on and able to give words to my feelings so well.
Great therapist; very perceptive and kind. I haven’t worked with Tihesha for too long, but I look forward to the growth and healing we will bring forth by working together.
Tihesha Lemon-Deacon is the best therapist I've ever had. In less than two weeks she has helped so much already. I'm dealing with stuff I've ignored for over 20 years, traumas I didn't realize that I had or that they affected me. She has so much expertise & ability to help with really complicated diagnoses & situations. I definitely recommend. She is already helping me with stuff that psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, doctors, coaches, books, videos, courses, medications, etc (I've tried a lot of stuff) have been unable to help me with for 30+ years. Even one of the most senior, highly decorated and most expensive psychiatrists in my country, was unable to help. But Tihesha knows how best to help me, & knows all the different methods and styles of helping, better than all the other specialists who couldn't help me. I've been on very many different medications and I have been diagnosed with many different things over the years. But finally I can move on with my life now and get better, after decades of suffering, being unable to work, making bad choices, etc. If you've tried everything else, and think you can't get better, (or if you haven't tried anything before) I think Tihesha will definitely help you. From my experience. And she gives you the help you need tailored to you personally, so it works.
I have just started working with Tihesha Lemon-Deacon and had one video session but I am already amazed at her insight and empathy. She has such an aura of trustworthiness that makes you feel comfortable and helps so much to open up and talk about difficult issues. I am looking forward to proceed with my counseling with her.
She is wonderful. I was so skeptical at first but she quickly made me feel comfortable. She is patient & beyond understanding. I feel like I definitely was matched with the right counselor. This is experience is much better than the in office counseling I had previously tried. I hope to become more active in my counseling as I feel it will be very helpful.
