I always look forward to my therapy sessions with Sheila. I really do feel like she understands me and helps me look at the situations I’m going through in a different light. I love how relaxed she is, it’s doesn’t feel like I’m talking to a therapist, it feels like I’m asking a friend for help which I really appreciate. I have already recommended BetterHelp to my friends because of the amazing experience I’ve had with Sheila through BetterHelp.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I love having her as my therapist. She understands me.
I’m not the best at reviews and tend to shy away from them but I feel so strongly that I feel not doing so would not do her justice. I feel extremely satisfied and comfortable with sharing my issues with her to help me I hope others reach out and can feel the same.
