These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Saralea Stewart. 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.
An incredible therapist who really connects with you on a 1-2-1 level. She listens, is proactive and insightful, knowledgeable and empathetic. I have come a long way in a short space of time because of her.

I have only had a few sessions with Saralea but I’ve found her extremely helpful. She is compassionate and holds a welcoming space where I feel comfortable to share person issues. There is a good balance between sharing and receiving feedback, something I haven’t found with previous therapists. She is fast to respond and offers further support outside of sessions through messages and recommendations for therapy tools. I like that the goal is to get to a stage where I won’t need more therapy, as this aim makes me reflect on what has came out during sessions and how I can find ways to cope on my own.
