These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Samayra Tavakoli. 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 am truly grateful for the transformative experience I've had with Samayra. From our very first session, it was clear that they are not just a therapist but a genuine partner in my journey toward self-discovery and growth.
What sets Samayra apart is their ability to challenge me in ways that are both constructive and compassionate. They create a safe space where I feel comfortable exploring my thoughts and feelings, yet they also push me to confront my limiting beliefs and behaviors. This balance has been crucial in helping me become more accountable for my own growth.
Their insightful questions and thoughtful feedback have prompted me to reflect deeply on my values and goals. I often leave our sessions feeling empowered and equipped with new tools to tackle the challenges I face in everyday life. Samayra has an incredible knack for identifying patterns that I might overlook, guiding me to recognize and break free from cycles that no longer serve me.
Additionally, their empathetic approach makes every session feel personalized and meaningful. I appreciate how they celebrate my successes, no matter how small, while also encouraging me to keep striving for my best self.
If you are looking for a therapist who will not only support you but also challenge you to reach your full potential, I wholeheartedly recommend Samayra They are a true gem in the field of therapy, and I am thankful for the positive impact they have had on my life.

My therapist is very considerate and patient with me. She always gives me questions that are challenging in a gentle way and gives me tools to use in everyday life. With Ms. Samayra, I am learning new skills to navigate my mental health!

I've only had a few sessions with Samayra and I already feel so trusting and a sense of closeness with her. She is so caring and friendly, she takes the time to dive deep into what your expectations are of therapy and what your seeking from the experience. Not only is she attentive during our sessions, but she reaches out periodically throughout the week via message. I didn't thing messaging was a service I would utilize but her reaching out made it seem easier and less like a burden. I would absolutely recommend both Samayra and BetterHelp to anyone and everyone!

Samayra Tavakoli is amazing! I'm currently switching paths in life, and she's been wonderful with helping me slowly grow and recover to continue on this next path. She makes me feel so seen and understood, and checks in on me during the week to see how i'm doing, and if there is anything I need to talk about before our weekly call sessions.
