"She's happy and feeling more like herself and committed to staying on the right track with the help of therapy," the insider spilled, adding, "Lots of it."

As OK! previously reported, the troubled actress, 61, sparked concern for her well-being after being spotted walking along the side of an office building in July. She was also seen talking to herself and ignoring Heisser, who had dropped her off near the building earlier that day.
