Heather has been great. She has helped me understand where I need to go and what I need to do. Difficult to hear sometimes but in the end I am getting better.

Heather is my second betterhelp therapist and equally matches the first if not exceeds the first. She is very kind and overly appreciative when given information she needs in order to help me. She makes me laugh more than I have in some time.
