What clients say
- “Fantastic concepts and methods! Great listener! Wonderful & wise person!”
- “Sylvia has been a great fit for me. I came to BetterHelp for help with specific difficulties and she was able to help me with those, but also equipped me with tools to use in different situations. I also like the work she gives me to do outside of our sessions, when I have time.”
- “Sylvia has truly helped me so much over the past year. She creates such a safe and supportive space where I feel heard, understood, and grounded after every session. She not only validates my feelings, but also helps me see different perspectives and approach situations in a healthier way.<br /> <br /> Her guidance, articles, and videos recommendations have helped me build confidence, stay present, and better understand myself and my experiences. She’s helped me work through childhood trauma, social situations, and everyday challenges with so much care and compassion.<br /> <br /> I’m incredibly grateful for her support and the positive impact she’s had on my life. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”

- “I have worked with Sylvia for several months now, and she has helped me enormously - and helped me see how I can help myself as I struggle in my role as a caregiver. She has taken the time to know my concerns, but has helped me return my focus to myself. I especially appreciate her helping me see myself from several diffrent angles. I find myself returning to worksheets, videos, and groups she's referred me to. For me she is the perfect combination of being professional, experienced, interested and compassionate. I am thankful to have found her.”
