“Anita is a very good listener and kind she understands my feelings and gives good counsel.”

“Anita has been instrumental in helping me navigate difficult life events and carefully unearth and address repressed issues. I've worked with 8+ therapists and Anita's experience, compassion and steadiness is unmatched and invaluable.”

“The entire process has been very easy and helpful. The app is great, the journal suggestions help provide new insight, and scheduling video sessions with Anita is very simple. Anita is a joy to work with, and she has helped me to work on long term relationship issues in new ways that I would have never figured out on my own. I feel empowered every time we converse, and she has sent very helpful worksheets and information that I refer to regularly. Thank you!”

“Taking time to understand where I am , and also remembering past conversations to bring back into the fold.”

“I feel so fortunate to be working with Anita. Her experience and professionalism shows in how she responds in a steady, nonjudgmental way to the various topics and issues we discuss in our sessions. She is very attentive and asks questions which help me open up and process what I'm going through and makes recommendations around what materials and best practices I can use to work through situations. She is incredibly kind, empathetic, and a role model for strength, compassion, and self-care. I highly recommend working with Anita”

“I'm so grateful to have Anita as my therapist! She is kind, respectful and has really opened my eyes to the benefits of having a therapist. Thank you so much! I can't recommend Anita or the Better Help service enough!”

“I have really enjoyed my sessions with Anita, she has asked some great thoughtful questions. Looking forward to working with her more.”

“Anita was wonderful. I had tried therapy before and was hesitant to try it again because my experience with my therapist was not very pleasant. But that all changed with Anita, she listened so well, she did not make me feel invalid and she said things in ways that got through to me. Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone I know. Thank you Anita”

“I've only had one session with Anita so far but she's wonderful! She allowed me to talk through my issues and just dump information on her. She has been a great support over the past few weeks and she is a genuinely kind soul.”

“I feel that progress is being made and that Anita has been very helpful”

“Anita has been absolutely amazing during my time on betterhelp. Our sessions have always been very helpful and I attribute the majority of my progress to the sessions.”

“Anita is insightful, compassionate and extremely skilled in her role as a therapist . Was not sure I’d do well on an app but with Anita’s help I can honestly say I am working harder at a brighter future, right from<br /> My house. Communication, Compassion and amazing mental health care!”
