Mindy is my second therapist on BetterHelp and has been absolutely amazing. She gives it to me straight and she’s honest and blunt which is exactly the type of person that I need. She is also extremely personable and has actually made me laugh for the first time in a while. This is the hardest phase of my life and I wouldn’t be able to get through it without her

We never connected. It was impossible to get a time scheduled. I would like a new therapist.
