Dr. Weatherspoon is always compassionate and listens to how I'm feeling. Shows concern and ask questions. She has helped me to feel mentally healthier and confident on my path to healing. I am so thankful to Dr. Weatherspoon.
Im currently still under care. However, I must say im glad I ran into brightside. I was at my lowest. Not going out the house, not wanting to be around people, not sleeping the list goes on. Being able to just login in see my therapist without leaving home made a huge difference for me. I didn't have to force myself out the house, get dress, etc i was me. My therapist Johnnie has changed my life for the better. I cant wait to fully recover! Im very thankful and happy brightside exists and highly recommend
I've been working with Jade Jones. Jade is a kind and compassionate provider. She's been extremely helpful. I have felt extremely comfortable in reaching out with any concerns and has been so helpful. I trust her recommendations and the system has been so easy to access and follow up with. I can't thank you all enough (especially Jade, shout out to her!)

I received great support from my therapist Mindy and my physciatrist.
The accessibility. I don't need a computer or Wi-Fi to get the help I need. And it's affordable in my case.
Mrs. Johnson & Dr. Richmond are wonderful. They have helped me some much.
I love the professionalism and care I've been receiving. I also love the style of the app itself and being able to see my therapist at home because I get a lot of anxiety going to appointments and this helps that. Also thy check ins keep me on track. Best choice I've made for my mental health.
I like how the doc gets our appointment done so swiftly and how she covers all the bases about Rx meds. My counselor is super sweet! I don't know much more to say other than she sticks to the allotted time very politely so she can get with her next patient. Don't let this one go!
I am very happy with the service. The app is very easy to use. The therapists a great to speak with. Reminders are timely.
Great staff and they helped me out a whole lot thank u
Lisa my therapist is easy to talk to and I should get better with her sessions and the medication.
