These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Deirdre Moriarty. 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.
She is very insightful and seems at times to know my concerns better than I do. She always remembers where we left off and she brings a wealth of knowledge to each session. She also does an excellent job at helping to sum up a session in ways that I can follow.

I continue to have extremely amazing sessions with Dr. Moriarty. She’s been invaluable to my learning and healing. We’ve recently agreed to give bi-weekly meetings a go, and so far. I’m feeling good! My experience with therapy has 180° and it’s made my life awesome again! Thank you!

Dr. Moriarty is thoughtful, clear, and steady. She asks great questions, listens closely, and helps me see patterns I hadn’t noticed before. Working with her has given me practical tools and a better understanding of myself. I trust her and genuinely value our sessions.

I look forward to my sessions with Dr Moriarty. In my world of excessive turbulence, she provides a calm place to talk me through my concerns. I appreciate her demeanor, her perspective and her advice.

Great at listening and providing relevant feedback, gentle but also redirects the focus to places she sees a space to work on other underlying issues. Gives tools and relevant real life examples to help understand.
