She's great

Heather has been beyond helpful and caring and extremely easy to talk to. Would recommend her to anyone.

To put it simply, Heather helped save my life. I’ve never felt better in my life, and it’s largely because she helped me crawl out of the dark I’d been in for decades. I’m eternally grateful for her.

Very helpful

Heather Friend is a great therapist who always listens, respects, my concerns. Furthermore, she gave me tools to cope and ways to manage the anxious thoughts that I have been having. My favorite one is the breathing exercise where I breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, and exhale for 10 seconds. She has been working with me to overcome a phobia that I have been struggling with and exploring my past. Along with that we discussed how I can overcome imperfection. Thank you Heather Friend :)

Heather is incredibly kind and not judgemental at all. I feel like I can be completely honest and get honest feedback that makes me feel empowered instead of weak. She seems to understand problems from the male perspective that is rare for therapists. I have found her to be helpful through some challenging times.

Heather is compassionate, thoughtful and insightful. i feel very comfortable exploring complex and difficult issues

Best decision ever.

I feel safe with Heather. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and supportive. Whilst chat was not how I thought I would be communicating with my therapist, Heather makes it very easy and I look forward to working with her more. I have already seen some positive changes and I am excited in exploring some of the themes identified further.

Heather is amazing, it only took me 1 session to know that heather was gonna get on my level and help me work thru my issues. She is kind, considerate, and really really good about not letting me slack off by providing me with useful skills and the right amount of motivation. 10/10 would recommend

I am new to seeking counseling to resolve some issues in my life and to learn how to declare to my family and the world that I am a transgender female a nd live the remainder of my life out in the open. Today will be my first actual appointment with Heather but she has already been helpful in feeling that she is someone that can help me towards that goal.

I had some important personal breakthroughs with Heather. Much appreciated

Heather has been an extremely helpful resource in my mental health journey. She's receptive and offers great advice and/or resources.

Great therapist. Very insightful.

Empathetic

I don't think I could have found a better therapist on BetterHelp than Heather. Heather is extremely professional and thorough, which I greatly appreciate. They are very compassionate and empathetic while also very knowledgeable and educated. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Heather's approach to therapy. It is unique, supportive, understanding, and engaging. Although I am writing this review not too long into working with Heather, I already know I found a good one. Not only do I look forward to the next live session every week, but I finish each session with Heather feeling more empowered, validated, supported, and heard.

Thoughtful, provides space to sort through issues in my own time, and provides resources and reading material often to help me work on myself. I've had a few therapists before this but I've never been able to open up like this
