I’ve been in therapy on and off my whole life, with most of it on. Ali is one of the good ones. I am able to connect with her on a level that people dream of when searching for a counselor. She is non judgmental, in a way where I can really tell her everything, and get the most out of our time together. She has helped me see and dismantle so many negative patterns in my life. We had a hiatus for a few years and coming back was the one of the best decisions I’ve made in my healing journey.

Ali is brilliant, attentive, and empathetic. She draws from a broad range of scientific, religious, and artistic sources to provide insight. She is also kind and funny making the process so much more engaging.

Ali listens to what I have to say but also knows when to ask the right questions I wouldn't think of as important. She has helped me in many ways and I genuinely look forward to our sessions every week.

Ali is a truly wonderful therapist and I think it’s due to her breadth of knowledge combined with innate intelligence and intuition. Therapy with her has felt collaborative the whole way through, and she really has enabled my own inspiration. I’m really glad I was paired with Ali, and will return to BetterHelp when I need to, purely to work with her.
