These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for LaFarra Hemphill. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My sessions with LaFarra has been insightful and challenging. She is an active listener when I need her to be but she also encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, physically and/or mentally. Plus, she has provided tools to help me get through daily anxious thoughts. I'm a first timer on this platform and I am happy that I was matched with her.

LaFarra is amazing. She’s a great listener, and she always knows what to say and how to get to the bottom of any issue discussed.
