She is extremely helpful during our sessions. She listens very closely. Sometimes she questions me, when I bring a topic, to lightly., she brings it back up and we discuss it again. It is wonderful that she does, it has been proven to help me feel better. She is very professional, yet kind and understanding at the same time!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I had the best therapy experience that I have ever had with Naomi. She helped me heal from past trauma so that I could become the best mom I could be. I am so grateful for her kindness and expertise.
She is an incredible therapist! She is very caring and knowledgeable. She is highly intuitive and quickly understands your issues - and helps with coping and actionable next steps. She also checks in to monitor your progress between sessions. I began with four initial sessions and plan to continue to work with her long-term. Grateful for BetterHelp and the quality of providers.
I've had a great experience with Naomi in a short period of time. I shared some of my personal challenges with her that I shared with friends who thought that those concerns were not worry worthy. However, when sharing with Naomi, she insisted that they be addressed and provided suggestions on how to do so. Glad to know that I could find a therapist who listens, understands and provides strong feedback.
EXCELLENT, caring, and attentive

Naomi is always caring, attentive, and understanding. She provides the perfect balance of helping you see the other side in interpersonal relationships while being supportive of your needs. Highly recommend!
So much has been addressed and unpacked since I've started working with Naomi. I know everything happens at the right time, but I wish I started faith-based therapy sooner.
Grateful to be getting to know Naomi and to be feeling her support. I can tell that she cares.
