Dr. Brown has proven to be the perfect match for me. She is a non-anxious presence who serves as a hopeful guide through the counseling journey. She begins her sessions with a recap of the previous session and makes note of the goals you all are working toward. She is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. She conveys understanding and empathy. And while I can tell that she can connect with a variety of people from various cultural backgrounds and walks of life, I have especially appreciated the inherent, unspoken understanding we have as fellow Black women. I have felt accepted and liberated from even the early inklings of shame. I’m grateful Dr. Brown is a betterhelp therapist!

Dr.Brown is a down to earth, but still professional and caring therapist. She makes me feel seen and heard, but still calls me in when I’m spiraling or feel lost. She takes the time to let me vent, but we also work through some things thru smaller assignments.

I have only had 1 session so far with Dr Brown and she has been amazing during the session. So far, she has shown she does not have any preconceived biases and we talked a variety of topics instead of focusing on one topic. It has been very helpful doing therapy, validating my feelings and learning how to cope with the negative feelings.
