Cheryl is extremely responsive, calming and you can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients. I have recommended BetterHelp to multiple friends thanks to my sessions with Cheryl!
Written on Dec 07, 2022 after therapy with Cheryl for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
Cheryl helped me through a difficult time, which I am very grateful for. She provided me with several tools to manage my anxiety and impulsive behavior. They are easy to use and if I practice them, they work!
However, I didn’t find our sessions to be conducive for my long term mental health. She became judgemental of my partner and didn’t seem neutral to the situation.
For me, Cheryl was able to help me through acute anxiety, but I didn’t find her techniques effective for relationship issues. To be fair, I had only sought her help for the anxiety, not relationship help.
Written on Dec 04, 2022 after therapy with Cheryl for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, career difficulties, and coaching
Cheryl has been amazing and provides extremely helpful feedback. She is not at all judgemental or impatient with me and my explanations and questions. She is kind and reaches out often. She reached out to check on me for the anniversary of my dads passing, remembering when it was. It meant so much to me that she paid attention and cared enough to reach out first.

Cheryl's guidance, kindness, intelligence, and responsiveness has changed me as a person. Slightly last the 6 month mark, I can confidently say I behave, respond, and regard life differently, with confidence and trust in myself. Cheryl's impact on my relationship to my family has caused a ripple effect of positive outcomes to them as well, and healed things I didn't even realize were impacting me in other realms of my life. I feel clear, confident, and ready to take on all sorts of things, as well as understand and forgive myself and others, thanks to Cheryl's incredible insights, resources, and sessions.

I am not very good at writing reviews and most often just ignore these requests. In this case however I would like to say that I was in crisis and Cheeyl made me feel safe to open up. She gave me options for multiple tools some worked for me and some did not. I never felt pressure to do anything that was not working. I very much appreciate her time helping me.
