When I first started BetterHelp I was not impressed nor did I feel any better about myself with my first therapist. At first I thought she was ok, then I decided to try a new one. So lets say about 4 therapist later and maybe even five or six diffent therapist I almost gave up. I was quite livid and was actually pondering of getting my first therapist back. Do not get me wrong she was ok but I just did not connect with her as I wanted to. So I was extremely frustrated and I actually did try to cancel but you guys are smart and have ways to make us dbl think our actions. Well kudos to you and honestly Thank You. I signed up with a therapist by the name of Stacie Brethauer. I was not expecting much from her at all and to my astonishment I sent a message and she replied quickly. I couldnt believe it. Then as we were messaging she treated me normal. I was wating for the "oh Im sorry I cant help you" line. She didnt do it. Then amazingly I found myself telling her things I wouldnt tell many people at all. I think the reason is ...... SHE ACTUALLY ACKNOWLDEGED MY MESSAGES IN A EXTREMELY TIMED MANNER..... Stacie also put thought into her answer as if she has empathy for her client. She gives multiple reasons to maybe try something new, as she tries to genuinly help your personal situation and not what she thinks is right. She has given me a tiny tiny light in some areas that I have not seen before lately. I wanted to say because of her I will continue to use Better Help services (as long as I can afford it). There is alot I need to work on to better myself and I know its one step at a time but at least Stacie has helped me at least look at the stair case and take one step up and honestly we all know that is the challenge is just to start. I give this woman a 110 Tenacity, heart and beauty as a person and Better Help has a true diamond in the rough to help your business to grow and help others expondentially.

Still getting to know Stacie but she has a great intuition for what people are feeling and experiencing despite the difficulty in communicating those kinds of things. I walk away from each conversation thinking in new and better ways about my life experiences and situation.

Speaking with Stacie weekly is like talking with an old friend. I have never personally met her but, it does feel like I've known her for years. It really helps with opening up.
It's also been wonderful to hear a little bit about her own struggles with things so you don't feel like "it's only me."

I had 4 sessions with Stacie and it was just what I needed. She was warm, insightful, intuitive, and responsive. It took her no time at all to figure out who I am and where my stuck points are. She remembered details about my thoughts and experiences from one session to the next which made me feel heard and lent a continuity to the process. I will likely seek her out again in the future, and I would highly recommend her to new members!

Though Stacie & I haven't been working together for very long, I felt a connection right away with her. Often in therapy it takes several sessions to "get to know" each other & to develop trust. From the first session though, Stacie was able to communicate in a way that made me feel seen, understood, & supported. There is no "filler" when working with her; she makes every minute of the session count by listening, rephrasing what she hears, & providing practical suggestions and "homework" that foster self-compassion & growth outside of session. I am so grateful that I have been able to work with her. Already I am experiencing tremendous shifts in my awareness, setting better boundaries, & feeling encouraged to practice vulnerability & authenticity.
