Twila Hartmans, LMFT
About me
I am a licensed MFT in Kentucky with over 25 years of professional work experience. Much of my clinical work has focused on working with individuals and families working through the healing process resulting from trauma, loss, abandonment. Much of this work has included much attention to issues revolving around anxiety, fears, confidence, and self-empowerment.
I believe that each of us is the expert of our own story. And that you already have been utilizing strengths; in spite of whether those are yet clear to you. Whatever you need to do, at whatever pace you need to do it is extremely important to me. I will very much follow your lead in this way.
As your therapist, my role is to walk with you. To assist you in identifying your strengths, in learning new coping strategies, and to support you in whatever ways you may discover you would like to continue growing in your personal journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Twila Hartmans. 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.
Twila is and has been such an instrumental part of my growth as a person and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather work with through the turmoil of my life. She is kind, considerate, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive to name a few of her amazing characteristics as a therapist. She challenges me to be think critically about everything going on and encourages me to dig deeper into my thoughts to understand them. I would recommend her to everyone who is going through a tough time and who needs to be challenged to better themselves moving forward!

Twila is very helpful with feedback that promotes deep thinking throughout the week, not just in the session. I’m so grateful to have found her and made this connection.
