These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Timi Smart. 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.
Timi is very insightful and has a warm, motherly air about her. She was able to quickly discover the areas I needed to work on and made a quick action plan for those. Prior to working with Timi I was feeling anxious and struggling to do my schoolwork now I am able to sit down and actually make progress and I am not even finished yet. I have noticed my confidence level has gone up. Very glad I chose to do therapy and very fortunate to get matched with Timi.
