Lakisha is absolutely amazing. She is a good listener, and a calming presence. She has helped me to halt myself when going down a pathway of thinking that does not serve me and to ground myself in order to move forward in an intentional manner in line with my purpose. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in working on themselves and becoming a more evolved version of who they truly are, even if that feels buried under layers of trauma <3 Thanks, Lakisha and BetterHelp <3

Lakisha Gomez is just WONDERFUL. I was a little nervous to start fresh with a new therapist but she is so sweet and made sure to ask me about what my goals were for counseling and about my expectations for our sessions and I really appreciated that. I am amazed at how well we vibe and that she seems to understand exactly what I'm trying to articulate. She has helped me make a lot of progress already - I'm so grateful for Lakisha!
