Teresa lets me be myself. In past experiences if I didn't write or cancell to many times they would drop me. Teresa is very patient and is concerned about my welfare. I have told people about Betterhelp and Teresa. She understands my needs, worries and my ways of communication which in turn, makes me feel more comfortable

Teresa is amazing at what she does. She listens, she cares, and no judgment whatsoever. She is helping me become the person I want to be with the support and tools I need to do so. She is also very motivating and tells you when you’re doing a good job!
