I didn’t know what to expect for my first session. Lisa made me feel so comfortable talking to her and she was so easy to talk to. After the session, she shared additional information for me to review to help as well. I’m looking forward to our next session.

I came to Lisa Cox and BetterHelp in the midst of one of my most depressive episodes since high school. Lisa is incredible — she listens to me, understands my concerns, and works hard to empathize and offer insight. Lisa's help with my self-talk and self-discovery has led me to find my truest self, and subsequently made me more content and confident than I've ever been. Having affordable, virtual, easily-accessibly mental healthcare and a counselor that values my beliefs, priorities, dreams, and goals has made all the difference in my life.

Lisa has been very helpful in getting me going in the right direction with my life, in the specifics, cultivating my intelligence when it comes to dating. The majority of us men has learned to love ineffectively from what we have perceived to be love in prior relationships that wasn't love in the least bit. Lisa is slowing gaining the confidence in myself to date again without the fear of more wasted time & meaningless relationships. She's GREAT, Thanks Lisa as we continue.

She knows what she is talking about and reaches out to me often! This helps me because I forget and get distracted quite often. She is helping me!
