I have struggled for many years of my life with depression and anxiety. After over 20 years of not dealing with it properly I signed up on this site. Brittany has been a wonderful asset in my fight to understand and control my anxiety and depression. I was afraid and nervous to talk with a counselor, but from my first phone call with her, she has made me feel absolutely comfortable, given me great advice, and been very understanding with whatever current situation I may have been confiding in her. Or asking for her advice on how to overcome my emotions. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for help.

I have a lot of respect for anyone working in this field of practice. Brittany, in one session, displayed amazing patience and kindness. I can’t imagine what kinds of things she has to deal with from other clients and patients, let alone in her personal life. She does amazingly to put her work before herself and truly goes beyond expectation. Everything from a commitment to help to even offering to provide assistance in finding other specialists, as time and life changes. I would confidently and happily recommend her to anyone going through BetterHelp!
