These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Demi Shugrue. 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.
Dr. Shugrue has been an attentive listener and a great questioner, offering insightful feedback and perspectives on my situations, always communicating with compassion and understanding. She helps me challenge my beliefs, shaping me into a more honest and authentic version of myself.

My depth of gratitude for Dr. Demi is more than I have felt for any therapist I have ever worked with. And I have met many. Within our first session I KNEW that I had met my match and she was going to help me in ways no one, nor myself have been able to. She is direct, but kind. She is highly engaged and makes me feel like we are both 'in it together' giving my structure but always with kindness. The changes I have experience in our 5 months together have been monumental. I can't recommend her highly enough.
