Sara is very kind and caring.

Sarah is amazing and so easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable and has great tips and tricks for managing anxiety and depression.

I had just gotten out of an extremely toxic relationship as a shell of the person I once was, and felt like I was going nowhere with my previous therapist, so I figured I had nothing to lose by trying out Betterhelp. This was in July 2023, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made to date. How much I have grown in a little over a year is simply incredible. I remember wanting to get back to where I was before I had gotten into that relationship through therapy, but with the help of Sara, I have achieved so much more by becoming the person I have always wished to be. As corny as that might sound, she simply is that good. She is extremely empathetic while never shying away from giving you her opinion on a matter, which I have immense respect for. Even if you are not ready for a change, she will plant the necessary seeds and wait patiently for them to grow without pushing you. Her ability to identify the root cause of certain behaviours and concerns is second to none, and she makes it a point of honour to provide her clients with any tool they might need from her extensive toolbox. I am genuinely thankful for having crossed paths with her, and could honestly never recommend her enough.

She is great!

Sara is an absolutely amazing therapist with much experience. I always leave my sessions with her feeling much better!

Sara actually listens and keeps everything really lowkey. A session with her isn’t something to stress about. It’s a conversation, and a relaxed one at that. She’s honest and gives you feedback and really has helped me just vent and understand what’s going through my head at times and why. She’s good people, she tries and doesn’t add pressure. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

She is the best

The first therapist that helped me unpack my trauma I've been holding onto for years. I'm very grateful for having her in my life. I feel like I'm talking to a good supportive friend who cares and she's helping me get to my goals. Thank you Sara

I really enjoy my time with Sara. She's very good at easing me into uncomfortable conversations and I feel absolutely no judgment from her when I do talk about things. Talking about myself and things that have happened to me to form me into the person I am currently is not something I like to do but Sara puts me at ease. She offers me very helpful advice that I try to incorporate into my interactions with others. The TLDR version, she listens to me and I feel better about life after we talk.

So far in the two sessions and chatting we’ve done Sara has been very understanding and accommodating to my situations

Sarah has been very respectful and helpful so far in helping me work through personal issues, makes conversation easy which I feel allows me to be transparent without doubts

I felt like I was drowning when I matched with Sara. She gave me the tools to manage my symptoms and now I feel like I am flying.

Relaxed and nonjudgmental demeanor. Gives good advice.

Very friendly and I appreciate all of the questions she gives me makes me feel like we are making a good-plan

I just started with Sara. I am very impressed by her. I feel very comfortable and connected with her easily.

10/10 i have only done two sessions and she has helped me greatly already.

Sara is great at listening and asking relevant questions to get me thinking about issues from different angles. She was easy to open up to even after just a few sessions.

Sara has been instrumental in the progress I have made on my mental health journey. I am so thankful for her insight and her knowledge. She has this really great way of planting a seed that later takes root, and also makes really great book recommendations. I cannot recommend her enough. 11/10. Highly recommend. Thank you, Sara. =)

I’m really glad I waited for her. She’s awesome and she gets it.

I only had two sessions so far but I am so glad that Sara can talk me through and sort out the steps to make me feel at ease. With her, I feel I can learn to make the right steps at the right time. I am absolutely amazed by her empathy and her ability to stay calm and collected when I am lost. She really is a great therapist!

Sarah is the best!! I never ever feel judged and talking to her can almost be like talking to a really supportive friend who gives you great tools. Her style of working on those tools first, instead of getting into the stuff we already know we can’t deal with on our own the way we have been, works perfectly for me and I never expected to do things that way and I’m so happy that I was matched with her right away because 3 sessions has made 31 years of this that and everything else seem so much more able to deal with in healthy positive ways to make myself better as a woman and as a mother . Super thankful for Sarah !!

Honestly she listens well and knows when to give you guidance and talking/reflecting points and knows when to stay quiet and let you work through it on your own. She’s really easy to talk to and also knows when to be direct and straight forward. I really appreciate the time I’ve had with her as my therapist and hope to never lose this connection no matter how many days pass between sessions.

She is very attentive and professional. I am comfortable speaking to Sara about anything and everything. I really appreciate her input in my situations and she always finds something helpful to say or to send me towards.

Sarah has been in tune with my needs since we began working together over a year ago. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone who can actively listen and respond with great confidence, knowing how to approach topics and situations with ease.

Sara is amazing. She understands my concerns and we have a great connection. I appreciate her expertise as she has been in the field for years. I feel she has been very helpful since I joined betterhelp.

I have only had one session but I appreciate everything she has helped me with and discussed. I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings with her

Sara really connects with her clients and makes you feel heard and understood while also giving recommendations for attainable goals and behavior modifications. I 100% recommend her!

Patient, compassionate, and kind.

Sara has been very helpful in helping me identify triggers and where/when I need to set boundaries. She offers constructive advice when I need to have a difficult conversation with a loved one, thinking of how they may react and how I need to be cognizant of their thoughts/feelings.

Sara is such a warm, genuine person. Our sessions are always the highlight of my day! I have never looked forward to a therapy session like I do with Sara! The compassion, the empathy and the general vibe with her is so organic. I have already gained so much from our sessions - she has evened out the little unfinished edges and given me the tools to succeed on my own! I could go on and on about all the great things with Sara - her humor is a total plus! The fact that I can also spend my sessions laughing? I mean, she is a complete gem and I am so thankful for her advice and help!

Some people won’t appreciate how helpful she can be with the really hard stuff. Those of us who need deep healing need Sarah.

Sara has been a great help when i needed it most. She gave sound advice and allowed me to find how i would approach a situation and minor adjustments i could make to make life easier for myself.

Thank You very much for big help and understanding.

Super knowledgeable and easy to open up to. Very grateful for this therapy option!

I really appreciate how friendly and approachable Sara is. She is very easy to talk to and doesn't judge which makes the experience so much easier. Her knowledge and background has really helped open me up for the better, she is amazing and I would highly recommend. ❤️

Great listener

Sara has been instrumental in my recovery in dealing with childhood trauma. She has years of experience and very knowledgeable. I made tremendous improvement with Sara as my therapist and highly recommend Sara! Sara is kind, understanding, patient, funny and uplifting. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist!

After just one session, Sara made me feel comfortable enough to speak my mind and open up, which is something I have struggled with for years. Since speaking with her, I have felt more myself and have seen direct translation of our work in my life. I look forward to my calls with her every week. I can only recommend her!

She is really nice and caring

She’s been comfortable mostly.
