These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christy Stuetelberg. 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.
Christy has been a gem, so understanding, helpful, caring and easy to talk to.
I was feeling hopeless with my long time marriage, but with counseling, I feel so much better. She helped me with SO many things but helped my husband understand that he needs to communicate and the reasonsI really need him to.
I would recommend Christy over and over again. She's the best!

My time with Christy was quite short but I will say that she is professional and personable. She listened, assessed and had a game plan in place in one visit. She obviosly has a depth of knowledge and her skills as a therapist are deeply honed. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending her.
