Do you feel stressed, anxious, or depressed? Do have difficulties in relationships? Whatever it is that you are struggling with, I can work with you and help your find inner peace. The Vietnamese Buddhist Monk and teacher of Mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hanh, says, if we are anxious, we are living in the future; if we are depressed, we are living in the past. If we live in the present, we can feel peace. If we feel calm and relaxed in the here and now, we can also become more thoughtful and optimistic about the future. We can start building this future with ever step we take and thus make progress immediately.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monika Broecker. 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.
Monika has been extremely responsive, providing tangible recommendations and suggestions when I need them, or providing sympathy if I just need an ear. Her support has ranged in topics from my marriage, new motherhood, executive leadership in my job, and finding interests outside those areas.

The help and guidance I have received from Monika Broecker have been so beneficial to my well being and has moved me out of a rut that I was "stuck in" with a close family member relationship. I so appreciate being able to work with her, even living so far away! I'd recommend her counseling style, her expertise, and Better Help to everyone wishing they could have help to work on an old problem, a new problem, or help recognizing when something in your life has become a problem. Get better--get help!
