I've been seeing Dr. West now for about 3 weeks and I like her...a lot!! She's very attuned to my situation, has offered helpful ideas and suggestions and is easy to talk with. I like her humor, approach and has not been condescending or dismissive of my situation. She lets me know that she does care and I would recommend her to anyone dealing with depression.

Thanks to Torchessa for being a nice listener and guidance during my sessions. Sometimes when people feel down, they just want some companions who support them, not judge them. Torchessa used her power of words to keep me feel warm and supportive.

Past 3 months have been very helpful. I found myself at a tight spot and needed an independent mind to talk to and give me insights on what I am going through. Torchessa is very nice.

I have only attended two sessions with Torchessa. However, she responds quickly to messages. She listens well and provides strategies for success in her coaching. She's easy to talk to and seems to really care about your WHOLE self. She's relatable and builds a rapport so that you feel comfortable sharing. I look forward to building this capacity and self-growth with her.

Torchessa shows compassion and exhibits patience in her work. She is very resourceful and she does this in a way where she acknowledges that an individual may not always have access to a counselor. So she has the long-term impact in the forefront of how she approaches things which speaks volumes. I really appreciate her work and would absolutely recommend her.

I was nervous to sign up with BH at first because I didn’t know what to expect or what virtual therapy would be like. Can you build a good relationship with someone you only know virtually, and get the support you need from an app? But I knew I needed help and I’m SO thankful that I was matched with Torchessa. She has an aura of calmness and comfort that has really helped me deal with my emotional ups and downs. She also has a sincere desire to help her clients. She opened weekend appointments to “meet her clients where they are” because sometimes it’s hard to fit in therapy during the week. She truly cares and is invested in my/her client’s well being. A few years ago, I did traditional talk therapy for about 6 months and I didn’t feel like I was getting what I needed and wanted from it. In the month and a half that I’ve been talking to Torchessa, I feel like I’ve made so much progress on the things we talk about. The worksheets she sends are SO HELPFUL. Everyone is different and your progress will be different but the common denominator is Torchessa and she is an absolutely wonderful, supportive, really experienced counselor.

Torchessa is a angel sent from God. After working on the frontlines in NYC for 6 weeks and having to be alone for a 2 week quarantine, I was in much need of therapy. I was overwhelmed with life and Torchessa gave me the tools I needed to properly process my feelings in a healthy way. She is kind, supportive, compassionate and a great listener. Having her as my therapist was definitely a blessing and helped me through very tough times! I am so thankful for her.

Torchessa has been such a great help for me. It had been a while since I’ve last been in therapy and I really like how I can have the professional help that I need right at my fingertips. Torchessa is always a message or phone call away! She provides excellent worksheets to help you reflect and think deeply about your concerns with great feedback and discussion. She also takes the time to research outside resources for support and these include techniques that you can incorporate into your daily life. She is such a great therapist and is very knowledgeable on several topics. Thank you Torchessa!

I am thankful for my time with Torchessa. Torchessa gave me the tools that I needed to get through a tough time in my career. She listens attentively, and gives thoughtful, positive, and often humourous, feedback. It is clear that Torchessa is passionate about helping others. It is evident in her compassionate communication and willingness to go above what is expected.
I have received therapy a few times in my life prior to Better Help, and this is honestly the first time that I have felt that the counselor had genuinely cared. Thank you Torchessa. I hope to work again with you in the future!
