Ann has been a blessing to me in the last year. She has helped me organize my thoughts and life more than I could put into words. Reaching out for help is hard. She immediately made me understand this is normal and easily fixable, then gave me tools I can use every day. I am not sure where I would be without her!

A great listener. Also very thoughtful in her responses and overall input. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a therapist. I’m grateful to have been matched with someone who’s able to help me so much simply by listening and providing feedback. All the insight is much appreciated. There really is a ton of value in having someone to talk to that can look at your life objectively. Everyone should have someone they can go to, not only to listen but also to give some honest, unbiased input.

I've had the pleasure of working with Ann for 7 months now and I am so happy I found her. Ann listens attentively and always offers wonderful insight. She is extremely thorough when explaining things to me as well as sincerely empathetic. I have had sessions with her where I felt my most low and by the time my session was over, I felt comforted, heard and most of all understood that I am not alone. I always look forward to my sessions with Ann.

There's really no end to how much I appreciate Lucritia. Isolation has been real tough and she has been a real pillar for me during this last year , and I really do feel as though I owe her more than a simple review on BetterHelp . She's easily been the best mental health professional I've ever worked with and I recommend her with complete and total confidence !
Written on May 13, 2021 after therapy with Lucritia (Ann) for 9 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues
Ann has been extremely insightful in a short time, making good use of our conversations both in messaging and in sessions. I feel like she can help me with the issues I have that drove me to do some work and hopefully come out better on the other side. It's fairly early in the process, but she's already helped me better understand some things, and I trust that I will continue to improve in my overall emotional wellness. I have spoken so positively of my experience here and with Ann, that I have already referred someone important to me to BetterHelp as well. I would have referred her to Ann, but since a lot of the work we do deals with that relationship, that seemed potentially conflicting. Ann is also warm and personable, puts me at ease, and do not feel judged at all, even when I acknowledge less than fantastic things about myself.
