She is a very good listener and I love how intuitive and honest she is. I really appreciate that she checks in and encourages me to do the same. Desa has a great personality and she inspires me to be more confident. This has been a life changing experience. I’m winning over my debilitating anxiety! ☺️

I’m so thrilled to have met Desa. After a couple of absolutely horrible experiences I swore off therapy to help me with me issues. I decided to give Better Help a try ( I was really hitting rock bottom) and I am astounded at the change I feel already. Desa has such an ease about her that makes me feel like I’m just talking with a friend. Couple her easy going nature with her insights, knowledge, understanding and professionalism Desa has opened up a new world of “better” for me to forge ahead in, that I didn’t think was possible.

Ms. Desa is so patient with me and she “gets me”. I feel comfortable meeting with her and letting her into my world. She values my opinions and encourages me to provide feedback regarding her suggestions and strategies. I couldn’t of asked for a better therapist.

Radesa is great! She:
truly listens to what I have to say with her undivided attention,
doesnt have a drop of judgement for me,
nor does she cut me off or offer unrealistic/off-topic solutions which can be the case w other therapists! She is the truth, I’m really looking forward to this continued clarity in life from future sessions, Thank you so much Radesa!
