I've never felt so heard. She asks such good thought provoking questions that I feel like I'm learning about myself from someone who has known me my whole life. She restored my trust in therapy.

I feel heard as well as understood by my therapist. I fully trust their expertise. I recommend BetterHelp to anybody who might need somebody to talk to work on past trauma or need an accountability coach.
