These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deepa Patel. 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.
Deepa is great at listening to my concerns and working with me to tackle the emotions and goals I work to establish. Additionally, she send me helpful prompts and exercises to work through that we then discuss. Moreover, she checks in with me (unprompted) nearly every week to see how I’m doing and feeling before and after our sessions. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in seeking out therapy through betterhelp or other means.

She listened without judgement and offered ways to cope. Very attentive to not just mine, but, everyone else involved.
