Sarah is a talented professional that I trust with all of my life experiences. She has opened my eyes and heart to so much over my two year tenure with her and I love our weekly discussions. I wouldn't be the person I am today without her help and guidance through all walks of life.

I was adrift when I lost my previous therapist. She left the agency to work in the schools. I had another therapist for a year, and I went backwards. Since Better Help and Sarah I've again started moving in the right direction, and quite rapidly at that!

I only met with Sarah once, but she helped me get the resources I need for a more intensive therapy as I came to better help admist a mental health crisis episode.

I instantly felt connected and comfortable with Sarah, she feels like an old friend. She gives me a sense of security and anonymity, I know I can share anything with her. Not only does she listen and respond but she HEARS me. Like a breath of fresh air she really helps put things in a different light. What makes her better than an old friend is that I get to guilt-free trauma dump for nearly and hour every week in our judgement free zone! 5 stars! 100% would recommend!

Written on Jun 15, 2022 after therapy with Sarah for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Sarah is amazing. We worked together for roughly 7 months and I felt confident to leave therapy ( my finances didn't allow me to keep doing therapy forever). After I left therapy with my "tool box" of things to do when I was stressed or upset in anyway I had major health issues happen a month or 2 later. Things my tool box didn't prepare me for. So I reached out to Sarah when I was in crisis, she helped me get out of my crisis mode quickly and back on track. Now I continue to see her on a once a month basis to check in. Financially I can swing it, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing that I have that "check in". Cannot recommend her enough for anyone who struggles with trauma, substance abuse, being a mom of any kind. She hears what I don't say, and asks the questions that I didn't dare ask myself. The amount of growth I have made would not have been possible without Sarah's guidance.
