This may sound a little dramatic, but Jarah has drastically helped me improve the quality of my life! She’s helped me see life through a healthier lens. Jarah’s helped me work through some of my shortcomings while still validating my feelings. I always feel extremely comfortable talking to her. 11/10 would recommend her!

Have never had an experience of not seeing a therapist face-to-face, and yet, somehow, Jarah Torrez-Williams pulls it off. I'm 75 and have had therapists throughout my life, and Jarah is in the top 5 that I've had.

Jarah is amazing. She’s helped me out with family issues, addition in the family & grief. She always made me feel like I wasn’t the only one who dealt with additions in the family. She listened to everything & helped me focus on one issue at a time. She was always down to get to the root of everything. Jarah is great, 100% recommend!!

I freaking love Jarah! I tried out other therapist but purposely sought her back out again because of how she approaches her clients like a friend and unpacks the conversation efficiently yet gently. It definitely helps me stay calm and comfortable throughout the conversation.

I love Jarah! She is so helpful & insightful on many issues I have dealt with/am currently struggling with. She’s phenomenal & is so kind, compassionate, funny, & relatable. Jarah makes all of our sessions feel so personal, I never feel like i’m talking to my “therapist”. She definitely helps me have a better understanding on my feelings & emotions; Jarah is definitely a one of a kind therapist & i’m so lucky to have her.

I have only been to 2 sessions with Jarah, but she has listened and described what I am unable to express or see in myself. She is helping me see what I am missing in life and is helping me towards a path of finding out what I need to feel better. Love Jarah's personality, professionalism, and friendly nature.

The service (and my therapist) have helped me enough I’ve recommended it to numerous family and friends, I’d be worse off without it.

I have been working with Jarah since September. She has helped me immensely. Through her kindness, her sense of humor and my tears she has helped me realize why I was depressed.

Jarah has helped guide me through repressed traumas that surface through family interactions or even as they crop up at work due to the demands there. She possesses great active listening skills and has a mastery of the BetterHelp platform to be able to connect with me via video, call, or even live typing. I am grateful she is here to help work through my emotional baggage and function as a performance coach facets of my work and self doubt.

Jarah is a good therapist match for me. She's professional, empathetic, and she listens to my concerns with care and attention. She understands what I'm going through and she has helped me tremendously with low moments and changes in my life. I had tried several therapists before and didn't really match with them so I'm really glad to know Jarah :)
