Reviews

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

Brenda is amazing with the way she listens and provides a positive approach to anything I have been experiencing. Her objectivity and patience have helped me work though things, that have been holding me back, on my own and in my own time, and she checks in. The checking in knowing I have spiraled down a rabbit and so I don't lose myself her way of asking "how are things going with...?" truly help me to not stay bottled up.

Brenda is extremely nice and makes me feel heard. She is easy to talk to and open up to which I have a hard time generally would recommend her to others and look forward to our future endeavors.

Brenda is wonderful. She is very understanding of the farming/rural lifestyle, and how it applies to everyday life.
