These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Yalanda Smith-Hudlin. 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.
I honestly don’t possess the vocabulary to articulate how wonderfully helpful, patient, insightful, inspiring and encouraging Yalanda has been for me. She is the type of therapist that makes me want to shout from the rooftops look at the magical gem I found, while simultaneously wanting to keep her for myself. She is by far top in her field and 100% always on her game. In our current world that is monetarily driven she can only be described as PRICELESS.

I was going through alot of overthinking which caused me to get irritated and short-tempered but the exercise, assignments and advice has honestly helped me out and since I've been applying what I've learned from my therapist and my friends and family said they see a big difference so far.

I had never been to a one on one therapy session before and I was pretty nervous but Yalanda was so easy to talk to and made my experience so much better than I thought it would be. She asked the right questions and helped me to realize I'm not alone in my situation regardless of how bad it is. Yalanda shows support, kindness and she makes it known that she is more than happy to help me.

When it came to the idea of going to therapy, at first I was very hesitant. Being paired with Yalanda has given me a sense of comfort with the struggles I am dealing with and has eased my worries of being judged for them. Yalanda has given me reaffirmed belief in what I deserve and can achieve with my life. I am thankful to have met Yalanda by looking into Better Help and being given such tools to enter therapy with ease and less anxiety.
