These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cicely Alvis. 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.
I have worked with Cicely for almost a year. I was having increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD from unresolved trauma. I had difficulty with daily living. Cicely is an excellent listener and highly skilled at gently reigning me back when my ADHD brain gets lost. Cicely is a very compassionate, kind, and sincere human being. She has truly helped me to get "unstuck." I am so grateful to have been matched with her as a therapist! I highly recommend Cicely Alvis. She is the best!!

Cicely is wonderful. I have seen a few therapists over the years and when I found her I knew after just a couple of sessions that she was the right one for me.
I love how I can talk to her like a close friend, there’s no stuffy formalities and she listens then gives me helpful strategies to work though what I can.
She gives great tools for PTSD symptoms, grief coping, abuse trauma, and cognitive dissonance.
I have experienced so much healing in my first year of therapy with her. I can’t recommend her enough!
