Rate Shawana Porter

Shawana goes over and beyond. From building the relationship and making it a safe space to be heard, she really listens. During our sessions I feel so much comfort and understanding. This being my first time going to therapy, I was scared, but after my first session with Shawana I can’t wait to discuss how the plans we set for bettering myself is coming together.

I love my therapy experience with Ms Porter, everything has been amazing! I’ve made so much progress and I’m looking forward to continuing to move in the right direction and bettering myself.

Shawana has been an absolute incredible help! She is patient and kind and very receptive! She broke things down for me in a way that would truly reach me and she took her time making sure that I truly understood what I was asking for and helped me to understand what I needed. I expressed to her what I needed as far as being more open to communicating with her and how sometimes intense conversations make me anxious and she made each conversation feel doable and relatable and easy. She was phenomenal and she answered all of my questions, even the ones I didn’t know how to ask. She made sure that even if I started a session on a low that it ended on a high or at least with a laugh and a smile. I truly enjoyed our sessions and even looked forward to them! I would absolutely recommend Shawana to the whole world if I could!

Shawana is very supportive

Shawna is very good at listening and helping me process life so that I can brainstorm solutions for my stressors. When I am not ready to go through a certain topic, she remembers and continues to encourage me in future sessions. Highly recommend!

Great! She listens, she isn't judgemental, and she allows you to take the steps you need to take at your pace she doesn't force you.

I’ve had 3 therapists prior to joining Better Help and being connected with Shawana and she is the only one that has tailored my therapy experience to me. She tells me what I need to hear and is real with me. The others gave very basic and general responses and activities. I’ve made far more progress in a few months with Shawana than I had in the previous year with the others.

Shawna has been tremendously helpful during the time we’ve been seeing each other. She’s an active listener. She takes detailed notes and she has a reassuring calming approach that has been instrumental in the betterment of my mental health. I look forward to our conversations and I would highly recommend her to anyone who values self-care.

Shawana is insightful, respectful, and is willing to tell me things I may not necessarily want to hear. She sets goals and gives actionable “homework” to help with thought and behavior change. She is just the resource I need to keep my life on track.

Shawana has been outstanding.

I’ve been dealing with mental health issues for a long time. Shawana has helped me work on processing my thoughts and emotions. She’s also helped me to develop better coping skills to function in my everyday life.

Shawana is great at what she does, she is empathetic, provides solutions, listens, is non-judgmental, and you feel safe when you are communicating with her.

Shawana was amazing at helping me through some stuff while I looked for an in person therapist! I would highly recommend her!

I have for years been on the fence to getting help. With the push I needed from BetterHelp and my therapist Shawana, the attention and direction was just what I needed to feel grounded for the first time in a long time. To have someone listen and be attentive has been the light I needed.
