Heather Raymo is a wonderful therapist! She helps you find your power and helps you stop being a victim! She shows you how to stop allowing people to keep using you! She gets you to learn to treat the young child in you the way she should have been loved and treated all along! Her knowledge on so many subjects is amazing, she is never forceful! She helps you see where to create boundaries and how to use them. I have learned to accept responsibility for my errors as well as letting those go once I apologize for them! I have learned and grown so much with her !!!

Better help has been an amazing resource for processing feelings, emotions, and events that have previously occurred in my life or that I'm going through now. To have Heather within reach whenever I need to process what's going on or get thoughts out of my head has been extremely beneficial.
Heather has been wonderful with learning about me where I come from and why I am who I am. She has been helping me process life as my advocate and not a judgmental or subjective third party.
