Brenda is great. I have confidence in her ability to understand the types of issues I'm dealing with personally. I would recommend her to someone who needs someone to talk to.

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.

Brenda is very caring and understands my issues
Brenda is great. I have confidence in her ability to understand the types of issues I'm dealing with personally. I would recommend her to someone who needs someone to talk to.
Professional kind & effective
Brenda has been very patient and always providing new ways for me to manage my situation. She does not overwhelm me with extras but rather offers techniques that are easy and comprehendible but yet still effective! I have thoroughly enjoyed my therapy journey with Brenda & I look forward to furthering my therapy with her!
I was skeptical because I haven’t clicked with therapists in the past but Brenda immediately made me feel comfortable and seen. She has helped me through so many situations and guides me to be better every week! She’s so professional and helpful
Brenda is a wonderful resource!
I really appreciate Brenda's kind and thoughtful insights and support. She provides helpful resources to supplement online sessions. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great therapist.
Brenda has been amazing for me.
Thank you Ms. Brenda. You are the best
Brenda is amazing. I feel like I was really heard in my first session alone and that she is working hard to help create a path to help me. She’s awesome!
She's always very friendly and extremely attentive to my concerns. She comes up with different management plans for me to overcome and learn to understand my traumas and work through them.
She's awesome
Brenda is simply phenomenal. I’ve been to multiple therapists over the years and Brenda is the first one that has really brought clarity and confidence in to my life. She is a great listener, extremely kind and offers potential solutions to any situations that you may be experiencing. I am now ‘graduating’ from my time with her but am relieved to know that if need be, I have the opportunity to see her again as a provider. I am actually quite sad that I am ‘graduating’ because I have enjoyed my time with her so much. I cannot recommend her enough.
Brenda is very helpful in explaining the biological realities that have created the difficult situations for me emotionally. She is very good at listening and helping me enact positive change.
Since meeting with Brenda, I have found mental and emotional balance. She has guided me to a better version of myself. One that I can like and with more work, eventually love. I'm so grateful I found BetterHelp but more specifically, Brenda.
I feel very fortunate to have come across Better Help. Also that the therapist I chose is a good match for me and my issues. I dreaded having to test various therapists , turns out I didn’t have to! I have already gotten some valuable tools to help me after just 3 sessions. I think this type of therapy is easy and very helpful. Highly recommend.
