These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Neeley Hughey. 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.
Dr. Hughey is very responsive and very attentive during sessions. She’s very through and listens and addresses the issues.
Written on Dec 08, 2021 after therapy with Neeley for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes
Neeley is very responsive. Even beyond our scheduled time to talk. She listens and understands and helps me make it through the impossible moment I’m in. She has a way of breaking down the impossible to help make it through what I feel I can’t. Literally breaking a day down into 30 minute slots.
It is not easy to trust but she makes me want to try. She doesn’t rush me or push me and gives me space to try. She doesn’t judge me or see me differently for what I share. The space with her seems safe and I’m learning to trust it.

I am so pleased to have Neeley as my counselor. She has drastically changed my perspective of life and the betterment of my life and those around me.
Written on Jan 18, 2019 after therapy with Neeley for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and anger management
I’ve had two sessions with Neely so far and as a counselor myself her level of expertise and directness is appreciated and needed. I don’t regret being asked to match with her one bit- she’s specialized in trauma, personable and challenges me in the ways I need it.
