BetterHelp is absolutely amazing! The questionnaire was so easy to fill out and very specific to my needs. I was matched very quickly to my therapist and the options available on ways of communication are astounding! My therapist is extremely incredible. I could write a novel about how amazing Donna Birney is, but I swear that it still wouldn't do her any justice. I just can't adequately describe how truly amazing she is. She is so real, so serious and blunt, but caring and considerate. She really has a way of putting things in a way that I understand.

It is possibly the best experience in my life and I wish I could have met her years ago when I first thought about doing therapy. But I put it off for so long thinking I could just handle things, I'm strong, I've got a family to help me, I've got this! I was right, to some degree, but I didn't get it healthily. I was only strong for so long until I burned out and started losing joy in life and taking it out in unhealthy ways. Me putting it off really hindered growth. I gave advice often to people telling them that asking for help doesn't make you weak, meanwhile, I was suffering for over a decade and never asked for help!

I am just SO happy that when I finally said screw it, let's give this a shot and see how well it works, I got matched to Donna! She gets me. She understands. She relates! She encourages me to seek out joy and enjoy my life. To have fun! To take the time every day to actually care about myself, even if it's just for an hour and do something I enjoy doing! I don't think I've ever felt so at ease ever in my life. And just in 3 weeks, my anxiety and stress levels went from a traditional average of 8-10/10 down to a 5-ish. A weak 5 at that.

I didn't know therapy would help THIS much! God, how I wish I had started sooner! But I might not have met her if I did! Thank you Donna! And thank you BetterHelp!
