Jade is amazing. She has helped me so much over the course of a few months. We have literally uncovered root causes to my childhood trauma that has impacted my adult life. We also have fun talking and even laugh together. Jade is extremely professional at all times, direct yet compassionate. Blessed to have come across her as a therapist. I highly recommend working with Jade.

About online counseling

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.

She is a very attractive person. She has her own opinions and listens to me to the end. She also finds and praises my good points and tries to work with me to find solutions to my problems. She is clear in what she says, easy to listen to, and gives evidence-based explanations. She suggests several ways to help me and explains exactly why. She is a very trustworthy therapist. Talking with her has helped me to stay happy and in control of my mind. I am just starting out and would like to work with therapy a little more.

I am so happy that I was paired with Jade. I worked with Jade for a short period of time and during that time my transformation has been amazing. I feel lighter and at peace. Jade has helped me to appreciate the woman that I am, that I was and that I plan to be. I can say without hesitation that I love myself and that's due to Jades ability to listen, understand, guide and call things as they are. Thank you Jade and Betterhelp for creating a platform for real change.

Reviewed May 2022

Already during the first session, Jade gave me very helpful advice. This advice helped to transform my financial situation on the same day for the months to come. She also gave me some positive self-affirmations to do for the rest of the week that transformed my well-being and replaced negative thoughts with positive patterns. She is understanding, listens and gives very useful advice. I am a psychologist (with another focus than clinical or counselling) by education myself and can assure you that Jade is very professional and uses approved methods. You will be very happy to work with her!

Reviewed September 2020

I've only been with Jade for a few sessions, but I couldn't recommend her more. I've had a lot of therapists over the years, a lot of bad therapists too, and I've found that one of the most important qualities of a therapist is simply their kindness- while Jade has many other good qualities that make her good at her job, I can't understate the importance of just how nice she is. Makes me feel heard.
