I’m fairly new to BetterHelp but so far I’m enjoying the service. I was surprised with how well I matched with my therapist Sabrina. She even has a black cat that shows up on the camera sometimes, just like mine! She always listens and never makes me feel ashamed for having strong emotions, like most people do. I think with her continued support, I can work on my mental health and improve my bpd symptoms.

Hi, I'm Sabrina. I understand that reaching out for support with problematic substance use takes immense courage. My journey into this field is driven by a deep commitment to creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to heal. With extensive experience focusing specifically on addiction and overuse, I've seen firsthand the quiet battles individuals fight and the incredible strength it takes to seek change.
My approach is built on understanding your unique story. I draw from evidence based practices to offer you practical tools and insights. This isn't about lecturing; it's about walking alongside you as you explore the roots of your struggle, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a personalized path toward lasting sobriety. I truly believe you have the capacity for profound change, and I'm here to help you uncover your inner resources and reclaim a life that feels authentic and deeply fulfilling.
Education & Credentials: I earned my Masters Degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling in 2020 from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and an International Alcohol and Drug Counselor (IADC) in Iowa.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
