These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Brian McDonald. 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.
Brian is my favorite therapist, so far. I’ve tried several different local therapists and counselors. I felt like they treated me like a job. Which, I get it is their job. However, I feel like Brian actually cares and truly wants to help. He’s honest and empathetic. It’s incredibly easy to talk to him, too. It’s like having another person in my corner. He wants to see me succeed and is giving me all the helpful tools to get there.
