Heather is amazing

Heather is remarkable. She blends active listening, constructive guidance, space for reflection, and a down to earth approach that made my first therapy experience feel natural, comfortable, and approachable. I couldn’t recommend Heather highly enough.

In only a few sessions Heather has helped me more than months with other therapists. She’s taken considerable time to understand the ins and outs of my life and problems rather than just listen to me cry for an hour each week and call it therapy. She’s actually TEACHING me concepts that help me understand what’s going on with my body and mind so that I can hopefully manage and avoid negative thought patterns by understanding where they’re coming from and why. She’s been invaluable and I can’t recommend her enough!

Heather is a phenomenal therapist who understands me and offers constructive advice

Heather is a great therapist! Truly was there for me when I needed it the most. I saw great improvements with my mental and physical health in a quick period of time.

I have had such a positive experience with Heather. I always feel I am in a safe, non-judgemental and comfortable space during my sessions. Heather is such an attentive listener and super responsive and personable. She communicates with a lot of empathy and compassion and I can tell that she really loves what she does and truly cares. She has helped me work through anxiety, and life adjustments such as moving abroad. Having such a wealth of experience and knowledge, Heather has provided so much practical and powerful insight, as I have had so many "A-Ha!" "Lightbulb" moments during our sessions. She is always so spot on and perceptive with her guidance. She has provided tools and guidance that have helped me break out of negative thought patterns, connect with my authentic self and the greatest takeaway being just to have empathy and compassion for myself. Thank you Heather so much. I'm so grateful for your help.

Heather has been apart of my life on and off for about two years now and I can’t imagine getting through without her. She has helped me navigate through so many obstacles in a respectful and honest way. She has allowed me to grow into a stronger version of myself and I am very grateful for all that she has taught me. I have never been lost in my entire life trying to help a family member with bipolar disorder. I’ve experience trauma from their behavior. One session I actually called Heather with my sister standing close to me going through a manic episode. She talked me through the entire thing, even having code words for when I couldn’t speak but I could listen to her. I highly recommend Heather. Thank you for everything, you have helped me in so many ways!

Heather is extremely on point with her feedback, analysis, and intuition. She offers both a refreshing and sturdy landing pad.

Heather has helped me in counselling over the course of almost two years which have truly been life-changing in the most positive sense! She combines extensive experience with an open, understanding and supportive style. She is a wonderful listener with an acute sense of when to intervene, ask instructive questions as well as being able to lend a guiding hand and heart to the counselling process. Because of her superior abilities as a therapist, I have personally been able to progress to the point where I can now take a break from counselling, having translated what we have talked about over several weeks and months into my everyday life, habits and actions. This simply would not have been possible without Heather's remarkable input. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Heather offers a very safe, yet honest space to explore my experiences and needs. I recommend BetterHelp to everyone I know.

Heather is an amazing therapist and has been nothing but helpful along my journey. She has a special way of communicating with me as an individual and I have a feeling she alters her style to best bit the individual. Her knowledge covers a vast range of topics and there has not been a single subject mater this far where she has not been able to give sound advice. I have nothing but good things to say about Heather and have extreme respect and gratitude for her work. In my opinion she should be the prime example of what any great therapist should strive to be.

I look forward to the landing spot she provides and helps reel me in.

Heather has been a great therapist to me. She helped me see things in different lenses and helped analyse the issues in hand, while always providing a nurturing and safe environment for me to grow and move ahead with my life.

Heather is an absolutely wonderful person, let alone therapist. She genuinely listens and hears what I am saying; she provides legitimate and grounded advice. I have made great strides in healing my mental health and providing a really great foundation for my future mental health. She has helped me with my anxiety, stress, and trauma stemming from sexual abuse and family relationships. Overall, I would highly suggest working with Heather.

Heather has gone above and beyond to help me in several ways and two examples are she responded quickly while on her time off to a message and a journal entry seeking advice that I am profoundly grateful for her services and I can honestly say I don't think I could have been matched with a better therapist.

Heather Koledo is the best therapist I’ve ever spoken with, hands-down! She is very supportive and knows all the right questions to get to the root of the matter. She’s helped me immensely over the past few months and I am very grateful to her!

So very helpful. A combination of emotional and practical advice. I feel very heard.

Very easy to connect listens and redirects as needed. Holds you accountable.

Heather Koledo is an extraordinary counsellor. She combines a wealth of experience with an acute ability to listen, understand and suggest, as she helps others on their journeys toward leading happier, more contented and more rewarding lives without being marred in self-criticism and negativity. I have had a truly wonderful experience with her and cannot speak more highly of her. If I had not had Heather as my counsellor I would never have made the progress toward a happier and more fulfilling life as soon as I was able to do so, if at all: and, most importantly, the insights she was able to give me and the tools with which she was able to equip me in understanding emotions, feelings, mental geography and the psychological challenges we all confront were not only invaluable during the time she counselled me but will be essential to my happiness, self-care and mental well being in future. She is the best!

She is awesome!

Heather is warm and encouraging yet firm and unwavering in her ability to gently hold me accountable in my times of weakness. She is accepting of who I am but unafraid of flipping my thoughts upside down so I can see them more clearly. She is a wonderful therapist.

Heather is fantastic. She offers a comfortable, safe space to explore mental health. I have struggled many years (some unknowingly) with anxiety, some depression, and establishing proper coping mechanisms due to both life circumstances and biology. I had tried in-person therapy via free services offered with law school--they were fortunately very passionate about the importance of mental health! However, I was unable to make the sessions with my schedule, and then with the pandemic. I finally decided to try online therapy as I was struggling coping with bar exam study stress. It was the best decision I made in 2020. (Also, I passed!) I entered 2021 with the same mental health issues -- they don't necessarily go away. But they change, they don't take over my day, I understand them now. Heather helped me to stand back and offer a different perspectives for these feelings. I now am better able to respond versus react to certain feelings. I differentiate between anxious and non-anxious thoughts and feelings. It is a super power in many ways. I also was able to analyze and reassess certain coping habits. I've ditched some less healthy ones, moved them to the recreational realm they belong in, and am replacing with better habits I enjoy. Running became my other super power. Heather reminded me to be patient with and kind to myself during these changes -- often multiple times because it isn't always easy or comfortable. While I'll likely need to continue practicing these different skills throughout life, I know I can do it. I have a stronger mindset to handle it. I'll likely see her less often, but definitely will continue to. But I think everyone should have a therapist, with the frequency of visits being the only variable.

I feel so comfortable with Heather, mores than any counselor I've had before. She is very down to earth and it feels very natural to talk to her. She is also very knowledgeable in areas like mindfulness and meditation, will often state research findings related to what we are talking about based on recent research, and seems to know a lot about topics that come up. However, she doesn't BS; if she doesn't know something, she will tell you. Also, she is really real with you while also being gentle. Can't recommend Heather enough. So glad I joined Better Help and that I've met her!

Heather is a great listener. She has a talent for drawing out the real issue and helping you figure out how to more forward. She has really helped me.

Heather is a wonderful mentor that has encouraged me to simply be present - if you are, you aren't missing anything. Overthinking, overanalyzing and trying to get over that 'stuck' feeling are some of the challenges that Heather has helped me to bring to light and work on. I can be myself and have felt that since the beginning -- especially being over a virtual platform.

I found Heathers’s insights extremely helpful - particularly around the issues of brain v mind and the role of mindfulness in managing CPTSD and an overly active amygdala. I also found her kind words and sense of humor reassuring. Heather challenged me when I needed challenging, and supported me when I needed a boost.

The best thing about Heather is that she always makes sure I feel heard and safe. She is very attentive and remembers even small details from our previous sessions. She offers wonderful coping mechanisms and helps me change the way I tend to think to be more positive, healthy, and effective. I find Heather to be a wonderful therapist and confidant for not only my major problems, but also my smaller day-to-day stressors.

I really enjoyed working with Heather. She is friendly and supportive and asks really great questions! She helped me get to the bottom of some of the biggest challenges I face in my life. I think the world of her and would recommend her to anyone.

Heather is a great counselor. She always provides me with the information that I need. I am very grateful for all of her advice with my family matters. She is always helping see a different and necessary perspective of my issues. I highly recommend Heather!

Heather is an understanding and insightful counselor. She is patient, funny and down to earth. I’m grateful for her assistance and I’m glad I met her. Thank you Heather.

Heather is amazing! She is not your typical therapist, she digs deep, sheds light on emotions that you didn't think was there. It makes you think and start wanting to take action towards a better self!

Heather Koledo is an experienced, compassionate and highly effective counsellor. She listens carefully, intercedes at appropriate moments with helpful questions that get to the root of any issue and knows how to encourage realistic goals for self-improvement in those she counsels. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Heather is a thoughtful and knowledgeable counselor. I know she has my best intentions in mind and has helped me become a better person.

I debated on whether or not to do online counseling and finally decided to go for it and I have no regrets. The counselor I was assigned is Heather Koledo and she is a beautiful soul. Heather’s insight and wisdom is exactly what I needed at this point in my life. I shared some personal beliefs and experiences and Heather totally ‘gets it.’ She doesn’t judge and offers wonderful advice on how I may best deal with my problems. Heather responds in a timely manner with all my correspondences and even sometimes when I don’t reach out first. I feel she is a great support system and sent to me at just the right time. I would definitely recommend Heather and Better Health to anyone seeking counseling, especially if they can’t or don’t want to leave their home. Thank you BetterHelp for connecting me with Heather. Heather, thank you from the bottom of my heart. May we meet someday on the bright side!

She’s very down to earth and helps to support you while also helping you understand the reality of the situations that you are in.
