I have been managing my PTSD fairly well over the years, but when I realized I was no longer doing as well managing it Imade the decision to seek professional help-and I couldn’t be in better company! Laurel has helped me better understand the motivations behind my anger, and provided sound advice on things I need to do to prevent my slipping further into trouble with my demons. Thank you Laurel, and thanks to Betterhelp for putting is together!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Great therapist!! I very much enjoyed speaking with her!
Laurel always makes me feel seen and heard in our sessions, I value every min I have with her, and I'm so grateful to have that in my life. I look forward to our conversations, and she always makes me stop and reflect even when Iv e convinced myself of another idea, she gives me a new perspective.
Great therapist!
Laurel provided a safe place where I felt like I could speak and be understood. She is caring and compassionate while being direct (in a good way).
Super helpful and will help you process your feelings
Listens very well, does not judge
Laurel is amazing at holding space and getting me to open up my thinking as to why I make some decisions.
I have met with Laurel two or three times. She is very direct, which I like. Once we really get started, I think she will hold me accountable which I need. I have already gotten a lot of help from her in only two or three sessions. I'm looking forward to more. I would highly recommend Laurel.
Laurel is an understanding therapist who is willing to listen as well as speak herself. I enjoyed our sessions and she was always kind to me
Easy 10\10 she's a very kind and understanding person.
Laurel is kind, and understanding. She has shown me a path that I can follow in my recovery. Thank you Laurel!
My experience with Laurel has been great. She listens and is able to understand exactly what you are trying to convey her responses and suggestions make me feel good about moving forward and who I am dealing with. I look forward to my sessions and doing the work that’s provided
I chose wisely when deciding on having laurel as my therapist. She made me feel comfortable and was able to give me sensible advice. The people who do get laurel will be very lucky
She is a sweet heart! I only had one meeting with her but I can’t wait for more!
Laurel & I seemed to have clicked really quickly. She tells it how it is, but with compassion & understanding. I feel really seen and heard & so lucky that I picked her for my first therapist. I’m having a really beneficial experience, what a lovely soul inside & out.
