Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stasia Manak. 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.
I am a person who's not a big fan of therapy as a whole. It never seemed right for me. Through my life taking twists and turns I was sort of corralled into it, ending up with Stasia, who has completely changed my view on it as a whole.
I needed someone who was more willing to take the wheel in a friendly and kind manner, since I didn't know what to say or what to talk about. Stasia is perfectly suited for this as she is a very kind and clearly caring individual who continues to have a clear understanding of me, who I am and the problems I experience.

10/10 would recommend Stasia to anyone needing therapy. She is so easy to talk to and really made me feel comfortable with her warm & loving personality. She's very professional and made my first experience in therapy a very pleasant one.

Stasia is the best! She helped me navigate through one of the hardest transitions of my life. Of all the therapists I’ve seen, Stasia dove into my past unlike any other to help me get in touch with who I am, how I was raised and what tools I need to be my best me. Definitely 1000/10 recommend her.
