I am highly trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the approach appeals to me as it is direct and empirically supported.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Patricia Leigh. 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.
I had tried therapy a few times in the past and did not have very good experiences. The in-person appointments I experienced with multiple different therapists left me feeling misunderstood, even more anxious, and like therapy wasn't for me and I would be "broken" forever. When my life was at one of it's absolute lowest points I decided to give better help a chance as a last resort. I was paired with Mrs. Patricia Leigh and from the very 1st time we chatted I felt comfortable, heard, and understood. She is without a doubt the beat therapist I personally have ever worked with and I can not thank her enough or recommend her enough to anyone who is nervous about trying therapy. She has helped me so much since starting our sessions. Due to unforseen circumstances I had to cancel me sessions for a while. Now that I am back to regularly scheduled appointments, I can't wait to see the growth that will come with working with Mrs. Patricia more!

She's great. Started my therapy with her in dec 2023. Highly recommended if you need a patient and grounded funny soul to aid you through confusing and conflicting feelings and moods from both mental reasons and life happening reasons. Thank you, Patricia!

Patricia is a wonderful and present person who listened and helped me learn to start loving myself. I had never even thought that was a possibility.
