These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Denise Seidman. 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.
Denise is a wonderful and professional therapist. My sessions with Denise are very effective. She helped me discover and identify a core trait that makes me unhappy. Because it's a behavior I've exhibited for more than 25 years, it's challenging to stop. I'm confident that Denise will be able to help me overcome this challenge, and she is helping me overcome my anxiety and depression. I look forward to improving myself through her guidance. I highly recommend Denise as a competent therapist.

Denise is fantastic. She's gentle, she cares, and gives incredibly thoughtful feedback that clearly comes from experience. I'm leaving my time with her in a much better headspace than when I started. Thank you, Denise.

Denise is a gem. It is impressive how well Denise listens and remembers. The questions Denise asks and the follow up after sessions are extraordinarily thoughtful. Denise has given me excellent homework (which I have asked for) and resources. I am grateful to have found such a wonderful therapist.

Denise has been great at helping guide the conversation when there are times I have nothing to say. She focuses on my main concerns even topics I brought up in the past and helping me create solutions for them.

I really appreciate working with Denise. She responds very well to messages too. Our short time together so far has been very helpful during a very difficult time for me.

Denise Seidman was the therapist I was looking for. She doesn’t just listen, she gives expert advice, helpful homework, and goes a little deeper into what’s really going on with you and provides the necessary tools to help you. I’ve done therapy before and she’s definitely one of the best therapists I’ve had.
