From the first session, I knew I could trust Cheryl. She listens to me and gives me great feedback and ideas. I can’t wait to see what future progress I make with her help!

I’ve been using BetterHelp on & off since 2021 and haven’t had anyone as experienced as Cheryl. She truly cares and values each of her clients and makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. 10/10 recommend!

Still the same amazing therapists I wrote about the last time this site asked me to write out a review.
Basically she's that perfect combination of experience and natural skill. I think what works most for me is that she really makes sure to understand you before she starts offering her opinion.
