In the year that I have been working with Susan, I have gone from being scared to speak my truth and tell my husband I wanted a divorce, to going through the tough times that came from doing so, to now finally being able to breathe and feeling confident and empowered. She has always been there for me and taught me to stand up for myself and to trust myself. I could NOT have done this without her. She helped me change my life and I will be forever grateful. She has been the perfect therapist for me. Thank you Better Help and thank you to Susan for helping me become who I am today.
