These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Samantha Graham-Douglas. 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.
Sam has been an absolute blessing. I am incredibly grateful for the time she takes with me, her patience, and her gentle approach. She provides a safe space where I can open up without the fear of judgment, and I truly appreciate the understanding she offers. I hope that our sessions will continue to focus on genuine support, rather than assumptions, as I’ve experienced from others. I’m relieved to be receiving the help I need, and I’m so thankful that Sam was the one matched with me.

Samantha has been an incredible therapist during my journey on BetterHelp. Her biblical approach to therapy was exactly what I needed to recover from depression and anxiety. She always listened with compassion, offered biblical advice, and never made me feel invalidated. Her unwavering support and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate through tough times. If you're looking for a therapist who combines professional expertise with a faith-based approach, I highly recommend Samantha. She truly cares and will walk alongside you every step of the way.

I took a month off and couldn’t wait to get back with her. It’s so nice to have someone actually listen to you and help you with your problems and notice things maybe you don’t. She challenges me and pushes me to be a better person and I love it and her!

Samantha is a beautiful soul, well versed in trauma healing and walking alongside me as a Christian as I lean on Jesus to help me heal - she is simply an incredible human, and I would recommend her over and over to any Christian woman looking for a genuine Christ-centered and trauma recovery and healing therapy approach.
