I like talking with Susan because that’s what it is for me, a conversation. It feels like I have a voice that’s truly my own. I don’t have to be careful with my words or think about how my words and actions will affect someone else. She truly listens and empathizes with me while also encouraging me to grow and heal. Susan was and is still guiding me on my road to healing and growth. The steps are still mine as is the road that I take but she’s there to offer me encouragement and guidance when I need it. It’s nice and I like this safe platform that Susan and BetterHelp has given me so yeah thanks I appreciate the help.

Empathy and listening expert. I felt immediately comfortable and was able to feel at ease so soon. Susan is someone I am sure of when she says she will help. I am grateful for that.
