These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bernell Hornsby. 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.
From the very first session, I could tell Bernell was intuitive, mindful, and insightful. Her warm presence holds such a safe space for any and all thoughts and emotions. She knows when to listen and when to speak. Bernell gently speaks truth, but always gives the room for you to come to your own conclusions. I truly believe she wants everyone to walk into the very best version of themselves, and is gracious and patient in assisting you discover that within you. She holds no agenda for the time within a session, and is active with the messaging platform if that's something you need. Overall, Bernell is one the best fits for a therapist that I have ever had.

Bernell is a wonderful therapist. After 2 failed attempts at finding a therapist, I found this amazingly gifted woman! She has listened intently to my fears, concerns, and goals. She has offered me some tools and strategies to begin processing my environment and my responsive behaviors. What I love most about her approach to helping me is that she is very supportive of me as I am learning to to show myself compassion for where/when I have fallen short of my goals or expectations, but she also challenges me to adopt new and healthy ways to hold myself accountable. I love it here! So grateful to have found her!!
