These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Danielle Patterson. 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. Patterson has transformed my life. She is always there when you need it the most and she always has a clear-minded and thoughtful answer to respond with. She singlehandedly made me stay on the app. I could rant on forever, but alas. Please, if you need someone who is patient, understanding, and truly helpful, get a consult for Dr. Patterson.

Trauma can be so complex and so deep that it goes unseen for a long time. When it wakes up it can be very overwhelming. Danielle has been a life raft, and a compass for me to help me find land and find my footing again. I have a very complex trauma history and she has gone above and beyond to meet me in that, help me untangle everything, and find healing. Having a therapist who really pays attention and is genuinely interested in your history is so refreshing.

Danielle is a very kind and supportive person. She has helped me more in a few months than I was helped in over two years with other therapists. I connect with her and feel completely comfortable to share anything with her. I feel truly blessed to have been matched with her.
