William Smith surprised me with his professional demeanor, wide ranging scope of knowledge and incredible therapeutic presence. I had my reservations about coming to therapy at all. But he changed my opinion and my approach.
I could not recommend more highly

Mr.Smith is honestly one of the best therapists I have ever talked to. He listen to what I have to say and he lets me let my emotions out even if I just need to scream, He will sit there and let me. From my understanding not a lot of therapists let you do that. I would definitely recommend him and BetterHelp.
