Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Adriene Faust. 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.

I’ve had a few therapists, and after a while I realized they weren’t the right fit. That’s not the case here. As soon as I had my first session with Adriene, I knew she was someone I wanted to work with. I’ve been able to share the darkest moments of my life without feeling judged—something I held back from doing with previous therapists. She not only listens and gives me ways to work through my issues, but she also brings laughter into the sessions, which lightens things up when they get a little too tense, and I personally like that. She’s professional, communicates through the app, and provides insightful information.

Adriene is a great listener and keeps me grounded no matter how wound up I am when our sessions begin. She balances feedback and listening perfectly and I look forward to our sessions every week.

I have worked with Adriene previously and she has been so helpful and understanding. The better health app connection is terrible though and I wasn’t able to have my session
