Alisha has been wonderful. I have a hard time opening up sometimes but she makes it really easy to talk to her. I have already recommended her and Better Help to others. I love the Better Help setup as well. Not only do you get a great therapist but you also get to participate in group sessions on different topics and different classes! This is one of the best decisions I have made this year and I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for therapy!

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.

Alisha is incredibly supportive and helps you foster strength in yourself. With her I’ve been able to build a relationship with myself and my confidence to make decisions in my life that support my values and wellbeing has grown hugely.
She fosters thoughtful and insightful discussions that unlock reasons behind thought patterns and offers interesting ways to improve them.
Although we have only done two sessions so far, I feel she understands what it is I would like to work on and is supporting me in doing so. It’s still very early days but so far very impressed with the better help service
Alisha is extremely supportive and understanding. I always look forward to our therapy sessions.
