Testimonials
"Assata Thomas is knowledgeable and experienced with working with couples of all ages. She pays attention to detail and does an amazing job of holding you accountable and recognizing what you bring to the relationship. Assata will provide you with the tools and resources for success."
"I first started speaking with Assata when I was going through a divorce. She is now helping me throughout my day to day post-divorce and I feel like I need her in my life now to stay sane. She is absolutely wonderful. I appreciate her expertise. I always recommend Better Help because of her. Assata is great."
"Assata is no pressure and no judgement. She is honest in a supportive way. She feels more like a friend or family member who cares. She allows one to see the error of their own ways without pointing a finger or reaching conclusions of her own. Being in this space with her feels safe for myself and my partner-we are closer and understand each other better as a result of working with her. Thanks Assata!"
"Assata is such an incredible therapist. Her expertise and compassion have helped me through the toughest time of my life. I'm more at peace because of our talks and the knowledge she shares with me. I'm lucky to have found her on Better Help."
