I have had a few sessions with Christina now and feel so fortunate to have found a therapist who I feel understands my situation. I feel no judgment and feel like I have someone who is on my team who has no agenda other than to help me heal and grow. The few sessions I have had have already been helpful and I am now hopeful that I can make it through this difficult season and come out on the other side better than before.

Christina is absolutely wonderful! She is very kind and understanding. I have had bad experiences with therapists in the past and was hesitant and nervous to sign up for better health. My experience with this app has given me a sigh of relief. Christina is very easy to talk to and never passes any judgement. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Christina is extremely empathetic and compassionate. She clearly holds much experience and expertise in her field which is shown through her passion for her clients. I have never felt more comfortable in such a short period of time. I also feel like I have made progress within areas of my life despite my time with her only being a few weeks. I truly feel like I have found support, and while the topics can be dreary, Christina doesn’t hesitate to keep things lighthearted when necessary with a good joke. She has achieved the fine balance of keeping things personable yet professional at the same time.
