I have felt very comfortable with Stuart. I have had therapists in the past I was comfortable with but Stuart has surpassed them. I have been able to talk about and work through a variety of things, some I didn't expect to open up about, ever! I feel like Stuart has a wealth of knowledge that has been invaluable to my situation(s) I am currently going through. I look forward to my therapy sessions with Stuart every week, I am starting to feel like myself again in some ways because of the work we are doing together and will continue to do.

Stuart is compassionate and knows how to listen. I’m in the mental health field myself and use BetterHelp to maintain confidentiality and to avoid having counseling sessions with other colleagues. Stuart is great at providing feedback and is so helpful as I have a stressful job.
