These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Traver. 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.
Stephanie is such a kind and caring person. She has guided me through tough situations and helped me dive into my traumatic past to find mental clarity and understanding. I have learned so much from her when it comes to social situations and understanding how I have been carrying other people's emotions while thinking they were my own. She is the most amazing listener and has gifted me with the tools I need in order to deal with everyday situations in a healthy way. <3

Stephanie is an excellent therapist. She's easy to speak with, sees the big picture and works towards the goals I'm looking to achieve. Being an excellent listener, she truly takes my concerns on board and works them in the direction I need them to. Her feedback is honest, truthful, and what needs to be said as opposed to what I may want to hear. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for guidance, in my case, relationships.
