Only a few sessions in with Marcia, and I've already learned new tools to manage my anxiety, as well as remember and relearn strategies that worked for me before. Looking forward to continue working with her.

Lovely wise therapist. Very kind and knowledgeable. We decided that I have really specific needs from a therapist and so maybe a switch within Better Help or possibly just someone outside of BetterHelp if the specialty I’m looking for isn’t available.

I have only had two sessions with Marcia, and I have never had a therapist before. Right away Marcia made me feel confrontable and not embarrassed to open up to her about my feelings. I am so glad that I am doing this and that I have Marcia. I think she is wonderful.

Marcia is very understanding and helpful in many ways. She is innovative with her tools and helped me alot. I was stuck in life and didn't know where to start when I started betterhelp. When I met Marcia I felt like she was understanding of my situation and gave me great advice and small homework sheets to start helping me feel better. I would recommend Marcia to others in the future. Thank you Marcia you have changed my life in so many ways.
