These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for David Woodrum. 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.
David has been a fantastic therapist for me. It's hard for me to open up, and sometimes my brain works through that by doing what likely appears to be pointless conversation or rambling, but that's how my brain has to dance around the issue to get to it in a way that I'm comfortable with. He's also been incredibly patient during my periods of withdrawal. If I share a journal entry I can tell he reads them thoroughly (and they're lengthy lol), doesn't just skim for the main points. He also replies to messages in an impressively fast time frame. I appreciate his ability to recognize and then adapt to the needs of his patient. 10/10, will definitely trauma dump on him again

He has been very nice and listened and responds back with very good logic.

I like David's method of therapy. I like the back and forth style of conversation where he doesn't repeat everything I say back. It feels more like a conversation with a friend

David listens and gives constructive feedback, but is also extremely easy to communicate with
And open to. He creates a comfortable environment and a two-way dialogue that has been really beneficial to me.
