These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Catherine Dicken. 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.
Though only two sessions conducted, Catherine has been incredibly patient, an intent listener and an empathetic ear. I look forward to our future interactions with the utmost positivity

Working with Catherine has been a real pleasure. She put a lot of care into helping me understand my current experiences through the lens of my past. She did a really good job holding in mind my history, which allowed me to feel understood and for me to trust the validation she gave me. Our sessions allowed me to develop a better understanding of myself, of the life I want to lead and the things I can do to make it happen. Thank you, Catherine-- your gentle guidance provided the relational stability I needed to help myself.

Catherine has been a tremendous support in both my long term needs (exploring my prior traumas and how they affect my current experiences) and my short term needs (helping me navigate difficult personal situations in the here and now). She always has compassionate, thoughtful and insightful perspectives and invites (and assists) me at each step to inspect more deeply the circumstances I am in. After every session I come away feeling like I know myself better and that I'm better equipped to face the next period(s) of turbulence. I am very grateful!
