These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susan Trefts. 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.
We are into our 4th or 5th session and I have already had so many breakthroughs as a result of working with Susan! I would highly recommend her! She is just who I needed and was hoping for in a therapist - she is wise, empathetic, discerning, kind, motivational, and thoughtful - she really listens and allows me space to work through things on my own and with her gentle guidance. I have needed this for a long time and I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have chosen just the right therapist for me. She is amazing!!

So far Susan is wonderful. It is early in the process but she has shown that she listens and is always adapting to my needs.

Susan is kind and confident. She makes me feel heard. I have only had a couple of sessions, but I am so glad I began this journey with her!

"Working with Susan was great. She's a fabulous listener and identified the key component of my issue in just two sessions. She provided some wonderful tools and strategies for dealing with my trauma. Additionally, she's just a nice person and easy to talk to. I wouldn't hesitate to seek her out again in the future should any other mental health issues arise."
