Written on Dec 22, 2023 after therapy with Twila for 3 years and 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self esteem, anger management, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and adhd

Twila listens and understands what kind of help is best needed to help me reach my goals and improve myself.

Written on Oct 30, 2023 after therapy with Twila for 3 years and 5 months

Twila helps me understand, see clearer. She doesnt give me the solutions, she navigates with me to recognize where Solutions are necessary. And she helps me reframe frightening situations in such a way that helps me build courage to approach reality honestly, rather than staying under a foggy cloud of confusion and hoping its all just a nightmare that will just go away when i wake. Because this is all real. Its not a day dream. Wake up and build resilency and face the reailty. Thank you Twila

Twila is very sweet and easy to engage with. She remembers content of previous sessions and connects with current thoughts/feelings/behaviors being expressed. If you are moving from your stated goal, she will bring that into the session for discussion. I really enjoy working with her.

Twila is a wonderful supportive counselor who always looks to find a positive in a situation. She helps you declutter your thoughts without ever feeling judged. She pushes you to stand up for yourself and what you believe. Thank you Twila for all your assistance during my journey.

I love Twila. She is incredibly helpful and I value her guidance. It is like speaking to a friend every week, except she has an expertise in counseling me, she’s bit just being a “yes man.” I also appreciate that she keeps me accountable for my personal goals and helps me grow as a human being.

Twila is very understanding and I feel like I’m talking to a friend. There is never any barriers and she offers me multiple ways to help calm my anxiety.

Written on Dec 17, 2020 after therapy with Twila for 4 months

Twila has been great! She focuses on the positive things that are happening. Even tho she doesn’t ignore the negatives. She’s given me quick advice on how to re-establish trust. She highlights the good so that I’m. It always focusing on the bad. And she’s big on soul care.

I thought i would need a therapist to just focus on the trauma but I already do that. I feel like I’m talking with a friend :-)

Twila is a wonderful and accommodating counselor. I like to write text messages to her and she always responds with caring and concern. She sends me challenging questions that make me do a lot of self-analysis and soul-searching, which I enjoy. I would recommend her to anyone with any problems. Thanks, Twila!

Written on Sep 30, 2020 after therapy with Twila for 5 months

Twila was wonderful with my daughter - compassionate when she needed that and stern when she needed that. She was always available to text or call and worked with me as a parent during a very difficult time. I would recommend Twila in a second and consider yourself lucky if you are matched with her.

I have been in communication with the site and Twila for a week or two now and I feel very hopeful. She suggests ways to move forward and practice self care. Something I never really embraced or knew more about. She makes a lot of good suggestions to furthering my progress and sets small but manageable goals which don’t make me feel overwhelmed and she is very encouraging tapping into what’s most important during our session.

Written on Aug 03, 2020 after therapy with Twila for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, self esteem, anger management, and career difficulties

I've been working with Twila for several months (since the start of the pandemic) and have found her sessions really helpful! She's worked with my scheduling needs whenever possible and has challenged me in some of my negative thinking habits, but always in a way that felt supportive and helpful. Having a weekly time to chat with her has been really helpful during a difficult period. I highly recommend working with her.

Written on Jul 22, 2020 after therapy with Twila for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes

I find that she is good because she gets me thinking about my feelings or why I do what I do with questions that eventually make me have an ahhh ahhh moment.

Written on Jun 23, 2020 after therapy with Twila for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, sleeping disorders, and self esteem

Twila right from the start was ready to hear about what I needed help with and she always messaged me as soon as she could. She helped me realize a few things that I needed to change before I could heal. She is the best councilor I have ever had and met.

I like her very much because she understands what I'm going through and she gave me good advice. I feel like I'm having a best friend that will help me out and keep moving forward. She helped me to reach my goals. And she brings myself up again. I want to continue with her and I want her to help me to go this through of my past and where I'm going through now.

While my personal schedule has kept me from participating in coaching sessions, Twila is a gem. She sends surveys and questionnaires, and is always willing to provide some insight that I can think on. She wants to focus on her patients and takes time to understand them. I appreciate her approach.

Twila is a dear. I appreciate her hearing me out and not judging my perspective on things. For the most part I felt at ease expressing myself because she’s great with her words and I honestly it’s nurturing to hear a voice that’s confident and genuine. She’ll always remind me with a short note if I haven’t responded in a while and it shows that she hasn’t forgotten.

I have had a number of face-to-face counselors over the years. When I decided to take the free trial here, I honestly was not expecting much. To my surprise, trying this format has been one of the best decisions of my life. Twila has helped me more in a few months than all of my face-to-face counselors did in many years. Her attention to detail, caring nature, intelligence, responsiveness, sense of humor, and ability to create thought-provoking discussions has been invaluable to me.

Written on Mar 25, 2019 after therapy with Twila for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue

I had a rough start with this app, the original counselor I did not feel any connection was being built, nor did I feel like that person was particularly listening or paying attention to what I was saying. It seemed very much like what was the quickest way to treat me that they could move on to the next patient. So I opted to find someone else to work with. And I chose Twila. And it has been the most liberating experience. She has been so warm and kind, I feel like I could not have made a better choice. Working with her has just been so lovely, and has really put some of my anxieties at ease, just knowing she’s there to listen. Even though we are just starting to work together, I couldn’t ask for anyone better.

She’s wonderful & fully understands my needs. She is super flexible with scheduling and responds multiple tines throughout the day which I never would’ve expected. She is easy to talk to and somehow gently gets you to talk about things you haven’t discussed in years!

Work with me!
