These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tracy Thompson. 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.
Tracy is very approachable, kind in her manner and picks up quickly on areas to work on. I find the balance of speaking and listening excellent. She won't just let me ramble and she freely admits she is not passive. She phrases questions very well and hones in on key issues quickly but sensitively. I think she's very skilled at what she does and is very adept and probing me in areas she knows I am avoiding. I have really enjoyed working with her and have felt hugely encouraged by her approach.

Tracy has just 'got' my situation instantly, even if it's remarkably complicated, and I haven't felt judged or like it's 'too much' for her once, which is how I usually feel talking about it. She offers viewpoints and wisdom that make me view things in a new light. We have only had a few sessions and I am already really glad to have found her during a difficult time in my life.

My experience with Tracy so far has been life-changing. This year I have achieved more than I ever thought possible and that is greatly due to the courage, confidence, and love I have received from each session with Tracy. Always available in emergencies, fresh for every session with wisdom that gives me new perspective, well informed on the world and the world of her patient, with so much strength she makes her patients too feel stronger....Tracy has been the best therapist I ever had.

Tracy is a lovely, warm hearted person. I immediately clicked with her and felt heard and understood.
She gives great advice and supports me with reaching my goals. I always look forward talking to her, because I know I'll feel better and smarter after. What I like most about having her as my therapist is the connection. It feels genuine because she puts her heart and soul into her work.
