These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Dacia Hastings. 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.
Every session I learn something new about myself. I just talk, and she simply listens until… “Did you hear what you just said?” Dr. Hastings truly allows you to lead the conversation while offering sound guidance. I feel like I’ve grown an inch taller after every session.

Love how you can have a comfortable, clear and calm conversation and it feels like just a talk not work. Feel like a very safe space.
