These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Debbie Hood. 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 was able to breathe a sigh of relief during my first meeting with Dr Hood. She got it....she got me...and gave me confidence in her ability to guide me through this journey of doing much needed work.

Dr. Hood is the best person that I have found to help me. She is genuine and kind. Dr. Hood helped me learn new strategies that I will be able to carry for a lifetime. There are not enough words to describe her and her ability. I would recommend Dr. Hood to everyone.

Not sure I could have gotten thru this rough patch nearly as stably w/o Dr. Hood’s sessions with me. It takes a very strong & empathetic person to do what she does.

Thanks, Doc

She is phenomenal! We worked together for a year and she was always transparent and supportive. I feel comfortable after a year of successful sessions to have reached my therapy goals with her by my side! She gave me all the tools I need for my toolbox to help me troubleshoot areas that might be triggers in my path in the future. If I come across a time I may need to re-enter therapy, I plan to do with Dr. Hood! Thank you for everything!

Amazing therapist. Helped me tremendously through some issues I needed to work on regarding childhood trauma and getting back to myself.
