Betsy is a very attentive and supportive therapist.
She is like my personal cheerleader, who listens to what I have to say, and gives me the emotional support that I need. She also likes to challenge me a bit, to help me see things from a more objective point of view.
With her support, I have become more assertive with the people in my life, more confident in my abilities, and more understanding of myself and my personal situation. I also have learned to not be so hard on myself, and to embrace all parts of myself.
I’m so glad I found BetterHelp, and that Betsy and I were a good fit for one another. I’m very grateful for this service.

Betsy is SO fast to respond and asks me thought-provoking questions which allow me to learn and untap things about myself. I love our chats - it feels like talking to an old friend who knows me so well.
