I spent a few months with Betty working through various topics. She has helped me become the most wholehearted version of myself and I've never felt better. She is so kind and very relatable- and frankly my biggest fan! I've stopped therapy now because I think she has set me up with all of the tools I need to take on the world. I can't thank her enough for all that she has done. I HIGHLY recommend her!

After life altering changes in December 2020, I was just in a big funk. My best friend was my recliner. No TV, or friends or anything. I saw the ad for BetterHelp on something and had been thinking I needed to get out of this funk and did realize I needed a hand. BetterHelp & Betty to the rescue! Just the acknowledgment of my feelings, then allowing me to work through them was brilliant. I did not make it particularly easy for her in that I write everything as opposed to a video chat or other method, but she’s always right there and says exactly the right thing.
I’m out of my funk for now. If I ever need Betty or BetterHelp again I will reach out. I’ve already recommended it to a couple people who could use a bit of help getting out of their funk.

Counseling sessions with her are like having a friend sitting on the front porch sipping a mint julep or tea and talking about uncomfortable topics in a comforting way. Then getting busy digging the weeds out of the flowerbed of my life.
