Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bobbie Shannon. 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.
Wonderful therapist.
Treatment with Bobbie Shannon is one of the greatest gifts I've given myself in a long time. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. I have a lot of emotional needs. She empowers me to work on what feels most important for me in a given week, yet building on what we've already talked about. She is a very warm and kind therapist. I feel valued, respected, and understood. She has a high degree of empathy. She is everything I've been needing and wanting in a therapist. She supports our sessions with great resources. And I always feel lighter after we talk. I couldn't recommend her enough!!
Bobbie is warm, and supportive. She has helped me be mindful, reflective and take action to help me make progress towards my goals., She has lots of experience in mental health.
Bobbie is a wealth of knowledge and experience. She has so many different ways of approaching the challenges that I present to her. She listens intently and I always feel seen and heard after our sessions. She has a compassionate and yet no nonsense way of delivering her messages that make me feel like I’m not being babied, but respected. I really enjoy my sessions with her.
I would like to thank Bobby for being super supportive and understanding. Spending time with her helps me to understand more about myself, and she provides me a great safe space to share my deepest thoughts :)
Bobbie is brilliant. She is kind, patient understanding and incredibly empathetic. I was a bit cagy about starting counseling and Bobbie helped me feel comfortable enough to be honest with her. I really value her perspective and insight. Since starting with her 2 weeks ago I have already changed my perspective on things and am less critical of myself because of the advice I have received.
Bobbie is the best. She is down to earth, real, and relatable. She empowers you, tells you what you need to hear, and gives you actionable tips and take always to work on.
