Jennifer is amazing. Great listener and advisor. I've used several therapists in the past and she is by far the best!

Jenn has been amazing from day 1 and I am lucky to have her as my therapist. She is extremely empathic and caring and has been a lifeline when I've needed it. Even when she is busy she will take time to respond and let me know I've been heard and my feelings are Valid.
She offers amazing insights and is supportive but she will also tell me things I don't necessarily want to hear, if that's what she thinks is best for me. She does it respectfully and gently, it's greatly appreciated.
I have nothing but good things to say!

Jennifer has helped me so much! I had never seen a therapist or been to therapy prior to joining BetterHelp. Jennifer made me feel so comfortable right from the beginning, and she has given me so many tools to better cope with my day to day life and my emotions. I really enjoy working with her!
