Bobbie is a fantastic therapist and I cannot recommend her enough. When she gives you worksheets and handouts, take the time to do them thoughtfully and thoroughly. She chose them for a reason and you will get out of it 10x the effort you put in.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Taking a step with Better Health was the best gift I've given myself in 51 years. I was matched with Bobbie Shannon who I immediately connected with, felt safe with, and easily opened up to. She exudes gentleness, warmth, empathy and kindness. She really took the time to understand what I most need to heal in my life without judgement and much compassion. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed to ask for support but quickly realized with Bobby's support, and the resources she provided me, that I have made very normal choices in my life for a person who has lived through much trauma. Bobby helps me connect to the part of me that feels wounded, and give love to myself. I've learned skills I will use forever. I always look forward to my sessions with eagerness. Bobby is the very best I've ever worked with. So grateful.

I feel valued, respected, and understood. She has a high degree of empathy. She is everything I've been needing and wanting in a therapist. She supports our sessions with great resources.
