These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deidre Bonarrigo. 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 have just begun working with Deidre, but I am already feeling much better. She is an excellent listener. I am very confident that working with her will allow me to address some deep seeded issues that I have previously been uncomfortable at working on. I cannot recommend her enough. She is a gem.

Patient, kind and caring! Deidre has made me feel heard. She listened to me and had my best interest even when I felt the world was against me! Meeting her weekly and then switching to every couple weeks, I’m thankful for every moment! People like Deidre have made me feel that I do matter. I’m thankful for her and the wonderful therapist she is!

Deidre is a great listener, she is attentive, she is honest, kind hearted, and I always look forward to speaking with her. She has made my first therapy experience a great one. When I decided I would be moving out of state, I was so worried I would need to find another therapist. Luckily, Deidre is licensed in the state where I am moving to and I feel so blessed!

Deidre is a concerned therapist. She also manages to be friendly and sometimes funny in a professional way. I am grateful to have her in my life at this time.
