Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Garwick-Foley. 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.
I think the work she does with Adlerian psychology has helped me immensely to understand my triggers and work on building resilience. I began therapy because I was experiencing a great deal of burn out working in healthcare and taking care of aging family. The work we have done together has helped me be able to feel myself again as well as to reduce my anxiety and depression. I look forward to life now, instead of feeling like I am dragging a bolder behind me. I am truly grateful! She is an excellent therapist who I would refer to everyone!

Christine is supportive as well as challenges me when my thoughts process may not be the only way to think about a situation. With that challenge comes potential interventions to use or different perspectives. Appreciate Christine's approach!

I've consulted Christine several times over the last few years and she has been a great help to me as I navigate my mental health journey. I've tried other therapy methods but I am a night shift worker and it works out so well to be able to reach out to her at the time that I am most alert and communicate with her in a way that I am most comfortable with. I think I get the most out of my therapy that way. I like that she frequently reviews goals and makes changes to them as needed.

So far she’s been great. Assures me I’m ok and what I’m feeling isn’t too rash and it’s normal.
I like her worksheets and assignments she has given me so far to complete.

Chris is full of good ideas for getting in touch with yourself and really digging deep in order to help yourself grow. I appreciated how Chris held me accountable for things I said I would or wanted to do and for how she affirmed me and my feelings. She helps you become your strongest advocate and is so deeply compassionate as well as knowledgeable. On so many levels she helped me to develop my skills for navigating sexual assault trauma as well as estrangement from family members. She is honest and kind and nonjudgmental. I can't say enough good things about Chris. Anyone would be lucky to work with her, but especially those who want to more deeply connect with themselves on a holistic level.

Chris is a very thoughtful, forthright and experienced. I have had other therapists just have me talk and ask questions, but I asked Chris to give me tasks and tools and she has done just that. It has been very helpful, though challenging work. She is also quite good at noting when progress is being made and what is next.

I really enjoyed having Chris as a someone to talk to. She was always in an excellent mood and always checked up on me when I didn't answer right away. She never doubted my decisions and always supported me. I would highly suggest having Chris as someone to talk to if you can.

I have been going through a very difficult time in my life. There are so many things that I think a normal person would have buckled. I have went to a few counselors before. Chris is very intuitive. She sees motivation for my actions and calls me on it. I needed that. I think she is a good counselor with a clear head on her shoulders and very easy to talk to.

Christine responses are both quick and insightful. She understands that people contacting her are in need of help and attention and she truly considers that; consequently she is professional and really makes an effort to understand her patients' situations. I've never felt as though I have to remind her about what my issue is or why I need her help. She is focused, empathetic and has always been there when I needed her. I can't recommend her enough.
