What clients say
- “I’ve worked with her for over a year. I’m so glad she is my therapist”
- “Soraya is the best...so gifted!”
- “Finding the right therapist is like finding the right hair stylist. You might have to experience a few before you find the right one. I went through 2 other therapists before I found Soraya. She has gone through this divorce/trauma with me and has given me skills needed to navigate my life during this difficult time. I am so grateful for Better Help.”
