I joined BetterHelp with little confidence of the benefits. I’m very happy to say that Cristina has been helping me to build on self love and confidence. She’s attentive and guides at my pace. She doesn’t make me feel as though I need to make certain changes. She simply guides which is exactly what I need. Though if I do ask for advice, she gives it gently. I believe therapy is genuinely about being guided in a way that allows you to see what you want for yourself. Not following in what others believe you need. Cristina is absolutely wonderful and down to earth. I’m so appreciative that she is working alongside me to help me to become a better and stronger version of myself.

Cristina has been a pleasure to work with. She is patient and has a gift for helping others verbalize things they haven't been able to put into words for themself.

I’ve never been in therapy before but for sure feel I selected the right person, to help me heal in the way that would be best for me. I thank Christina for her support during this time and knowledge and understanding of what she is doing.

Cristina is the absolute best therapist I have ever had. Being in and out of therapy since I was 12, I was under the assumption that therapy just wasn't for me. I felt as though no matter how many therapist I met with, they all said the same things, used the same methods, and I never felt improvement. This past year with the pandemic really sent me on a spiral and brought up a lot of emotions and bad habits that I had worked on suppressing for so many years. I knew I had to start the process of therapy again no matter how much I didn't want to. My friend recommended BetterHelp and after months of hesitation I finally signed up. After meeting Cristina for only 30 minutes I knew that this time around was going to be very different, and I wish I had started sooner. Cristina is attentive, informative, and cares so deeply. She's helped me in ways that I truly thought nobody could. I started looking at the world and myself with a different perspective, started working on goals, and practiced exercises weekly that actually helped me in positive ways. I could go on and on about how much I appreciate Cristina and how grateful I am that I started this journey with BetterHelp... all I can say is that if you've felt as though therapy has not worked for you in the past or if you're nervous to start, take the leap and do it. The best thing I ever did for myself was start this journey with Cristina.

I recently had to cancel counseling due to financial issues but Cristina was wonderful. Very patient and understanding and easy to talk to about my numerous issues. She managed to talk me through some ways to focus on getting better and ignoring the bad brain thoughts.

She sent me multiple relevant articles for me to read through. They were all very helpful and contributed to getting me to my goals. Other resources she sent were worksheets and also YouTube videos so I could have a variety of ways to take in information and learn more about how to look after myself.

I am still able to read her messages and she has sent me another article and tried to check up on me to make sure I'm doing well, but because I've cancelled, I'm unable to respond and thank her. The article has been saved so I can read it as soon as I'm free.

I'm very appreciative of all Cristina has done for me and I'm a little sad I've had to cancel. But as soon as I've got enough income and feel as though i still need help I will definitely be enquiring whether Cristina has any space for me!
