Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Christopher Nickson. 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.
Dr. Nickson is everything a person could want in a therapist: highly capable, competent, and compassionate. While it is is never easy being vulnerable and plain spoken about one’s emotional burdens and sensitivities, Dr. Nickson has an easygoing and thoughtful demeanor that makes doing “the work” much easier than ever before.

Dr: Nickson is a class act who has helped me through my darkest days. He is compassionate when he needs to be, and will tell you things you need, not want to hear when appropriate. Easily the best therapist I’ve ever worked with out of several.

Absolutely incredible. Empathetic but also direct and honest. Insightful and encouraging as well as experienced and inspired.
So grateful
