These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Charlotte Crawford. 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.
Charlotte is kind and very understanding of the challenges in life I have had we built a rapport very quickly due to her being compassionate and very warm in her manner and tone, I feel I can trust her with anything I say without judgement, she also gently guides me and redirects conversation to help me see new ways of thinking about things and especially how I feel about myself.

I have struggled with self-confidence, anxiety and depression and having Charlotte for the past 4 months has been of real help to me, especially in learning new coping mechanisms to deal with my problems. I am not perfect by any means, but learning more about yourself through therapy helps, and it answers the questions you think you know but don't actually know.
