These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Susan (Sue) Futeral. 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.
Dr. Futeral is by far the most helpful and caring mental health professional that I have encountered and she has been helping me immensely. I’ve dealt with a lot of inattentive therapists and I stopped going for a while because of that. But ever since I started seeing dr. Futeral about eight or nine months ago, I’ve but looking forward to our appointments, and really enjoying and benefiting from therapy again. She’s the best and I would highly recommend her to anyone. You can tell she really loves her job and cares deeply about people and honestly has single-handedly restored my faith in therapy. :)

Dr. Futeral has been very helpful to me so far. I am having family issues and she helps me figure out ways I can help myself. She is understanding and tells me things I need to hear. I would recommend her as a therapist.

Dr. Sue is a great listener, knows how to help you see the positives without minimising your issues, and has a good understanding of the rapidly changing and nuanced landscape of the LGBT community. One of the first therapists I have met that helps me with “trans” issues without ignoring my other concerns. She can pivot seamlessly and is a lovely person to talk to! I would recommend her to anybody, LGBT or not.
