These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Billie Schwalbe. 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.
Billie is one of those once-in-a-lifetime therapists. She's kind, considerate, and compassionate but isn't afraid to ask the hard questions and give you things to reflect upon. She helped me take control of my life and empowered me to face even the toughest challenges with more confidence. I don't think I could have made as much progress without her guidance and support. She's the kind of therapist who will meet you where you are and help you make progress toward your goals at your own pace. I now have so many new resources and tools to aid me when I need them, and will carry her advice with me for a long, long time. She is a shining example of what makes a great therapist and we need more like her. I would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone looking into therapy.
