Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lindsay Zimmitti. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve just had to switch therapists as my previous therapist suddenly became unavailable. As an anxious person, Lindsay validated that it was difficult to switch therapists mid-treatment and she has made it a very comfortable transition. I feel like I’ve connected well with her.
She validates my feelings and my experiences while gently encouraging me to see the reality of the situation before me, which has been difficult for me. She doesn’t push me but she is encouraging.
I’m feeling very good about how things are progressing with Lindsay!

She really, truly cares about her patients and is ready to help you when you're ready for help.

She is the first therapist to fully listen to me and actually help. Her sessions continue to help me through extremely hard times. Because of her, I have gained back feelings of safety, developed useful self-care techniques, and learned more about myself. She is very knowledge in this field and knows how to appropriately respond to patients. I highly recommend her :)

She listens carefully and answers all my questions. I feel like I understand how my mind works after having sessions with her and she’s taught me the skills I need to overcome my past challenges, my currently challenges and I feel more equipped for future challenges too.

Lindsay is patient, kind and personable. My shoulders always feel lighter after our sessions and she's great at suggesting next actions to work through my emotions or situations so I feel I am progressing.

After just 3 weeks of working with Lindsay I already am in a better place than when I began therapy. She balances listening to me with providing doable, actionable steps that I can take daily. I trusted the reviews I read here that said she is results-oriented and it’s absolutely true! Very empathetic and effective therapist :)
