First time in getting help, I didn't know what to expect. I was afraid there would be a lot of head nodding and "and how does this make you feel". I don't like these kinds of situations, I prefer a more interactive to and fro. Shonda is amazing, interactive, listens and offers advice. She is uplifting and you feel like your talking to someone who truely cares. I am blessed that she is my therapist.

I find Shonda to be observant, thoughtful, respectful, honest, and kind as a counselor; varied in experience and also able to continuously learn through our conversations. My reason for seeking counseling is quite specific and unique, with multiple mental conditions and gymnastics at play, causing me to be hesitant to even seek counseling to begin with but BetterHelp matched me perfectly it seems and Shonda has showed up even above and beyond what feels like would suffice for the average seeker. I am extremely grateful for having found Shonda; I believe when we are going through a hard time, the way we walk through the hard time can either be medicine or poison for our future. In only a couple of sessions I already feel heard, felt, and seen by Shonda as well as on my way through this challenging moment where, with Shonda's help, this moment can be medicine that turns the grime into gold. Thank you Shonda and BetterHelp. I highly recommend Shonda.
