Julia is amazing and has been a huge part of my mental health journey. She is patient, kind, non-judgemental and will listen to you with an open mind on anything that is bothering you, even if it's not what you intended to talk about during that session. Our sessions made me feel supported and like I had someone on my side. Thank you Julia and Better Help for helping me.
