I was going down a long and dark rabbit hole that I didn’t realize I was even in due to depression and stress. After I got matched with Nathan, I didn’t know what to expect as I had never been able to open up to anyone. We are nearly two years in now and I have never been better. His experience and expertise are fantastic and makes me glad I got matched with someone who totally understands me

Nathan Kortu is a perfect fit for my needs here at Betterhelp. During our sessions he makes me feel comfortable to share my life experiences. He listens to me and provides me with coping skills that help guide me in the right direction and much more.

Wow!
I started my journey of recovering from Depression and Anxiety of the loss of my father with Nathan first via phone call, he was empathic, allowed me to express myself in a way I hadn't been able to with anyone. Encouraged me and assured me what I felt was from a place that I wouldn't have figured out without his guidance, in from this take away of Week 1 of counseling, I have had a NIGHT and DAY experience, I am doing better at work, in the gym, in my family time, in my heart, mind and soul and spirit. I felt a massive shift and began sharing my testimony and fathers legacy in the form of Encouragement and Empowerment to my family, friends and church.
I have had a milestone experience here and plan to stay to grow more and would encourage all to try!
Thank you Nathan Kortu and BetterHelp
