In 2024, good therapists operating remotely are not too difficult to come by, but like Goldilocks, it took me awhile to find the one who is “just right”. Of all people, my grandmother led me to BetterHelp. I had a couple of therapists I had worked with prior to Heather for shorter periods of time through BH, and I am sure they are great for other clients, but I sought more from my practitioner. While in the sea of choices, Heather’s friendly smiling face, educational background, and overall “vibe” on her profile convinced me to book a session with her. Without going into too much detail, I can tell you that my life is absolutely in a different place because of this incredible human. She is professional, warm, relatable, her memory is impeccable, and is flexible with scheduling if there is a conflict. Heather makes me feel safe, seen, heard, and supported. We’ve been working together for about six months and I still look forward to therapy sessions each week. My friends, family, and colleagues have noticed a difference in my well-being—but most importantly, I am finally coming to understand who I am. If you are looking for a phenomenal therapist—especially if you identify as LGBTQIA+—you’ve found her right here.

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.

Caring, understanding, and always ready to listen and help me unpack my past experiences to better understand my current ones. I've gotten so much out of our sessions
Heather is very kind and understanding. No matter your race or religion they will listen and make you feel heard.
Heather is the best. I always feel better after our sessions.
Phenomenal therapist. Very responsive, listens and remembers very well. And provides great insights to all concerns and worries that I bring up. And her demeanor makes it easy to open up and be vulnerable
Always offers a good perspective on issues and listens to what is bothering me.
A great listener, has helped me reflect so much and feel listened to without being judged. Few therapists have this skill and I'm so glad we were matched. Highly recommend!
Fin is always such a enjoyable person to talk with and is always so attentive to my concerns.
Time and again Heather proves her competence, empathy, and patience. She is truly a great therapist, and I am getting so much from my sessions.
