These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Barbara Baumgartner. 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 felt comfortable and safe with Barb from day one. That is an extremely unusual experience for me. I generally have good intuitions about people and it's been right on with Barbara. She is who I need for this next chapter in my life and so grateful.

I had to switch to a different therapist to fit my personal struggles needs. She has absolutely made me feel seen and heard and given me hope that things will become better. She is encouraging and kind. She is transparent with my care plan and she's always making sure things are not misunderstood or miscommunication. I have peace now moving forward that with her help... I'll be OK

Barb is very compassionate and understanding. She is so easy to talk to! She has helped me to work out issues that are buried that need to be brought to light and dealt with. I am delighted with her!
