For BetterHelp keep sponsoring content creators, it's definitely worked to get me to talk to someone.
Jennifer is amazing at dealing with my first time talking to a therapist without someone else's input. She has amazing communication skills and doesn't interrupt yet still keeps me on point.
This is probably the best app for mental help I have found, and Jennifer was a big part of that statement.

She didn’t know, but I came in extremely skeptical. Jennifer changed all that and made me feel comfortable. I feel heard and valued, and it’s nice to know someone is listening and offering valuable things to help me.

Jennifer takes the time to really listen and understand me. She leaves space for me to show up authentically. She provides empathy and validation and also challenges me to question my thoughts and explore possibilities. I can already feel a positive change in my life even after just a few sessions.
