This was my first experience with any sort of mental health therapy. (46yrs old - male). I have made rapid progress and enjoyed the process from the moment I started. Derylene offers no mind tricks or round-about tactics. She is able to hit the nail on the head and speak the truth in a way that resonates with me. I feel stronger and much more peaceful as a dad, a partner and a businessman as a result of my work with Derylene. I strongly recommend her as a mental health professional for those who are ready to do the work, be honest with yourself and show up for what she prescribes.

Dr. Derylene Proctor is an excellent counselor. I highly recommend her. After my first appointment, I knew that I would be sticking with her for a while. She made sure to listen attentively so as to understand my primary needs and concerns. She asked the right questions and what I really appreciate about Dr. Derylene Proctor is that she doesn't make me feel rushed through my appointment, so I feel relaxed and respected when I am in a session with her. Furthermore her expertise, experience and professionalism is quite apparent and well appreciated!

This has been my first counseling experience so I am unpacking quite a few things and making major life adjustments. I was stuck in a rut and everything just needs to change. Its only been two weeks but I already feel I can trust Derylene and that she has my best interest at heart. She gives excellent guidance and its so supportive its impossible not to feel good at some point when I talk to her. I am so happy that I took the step to sign up for BetterHelp!

Very understanding and listen to your views and offer her advice but in all she brings the mind of Christ always in the situation.

I started using Bettehelp at what was probably the lowest point of my life. I was pretty broke as well, just lost a job...but decided to try the free trial.. I chose Derylene because of her vast experience (30 years) and because she is specialised in CBT, which I wanted to try because I've heard great things about it. Lets just say I wasn't disappointed! :D I'm really glad I found her, I feel like I really managed to internalize the CBT principles by now, and I don't even recognize myself anymore! I can't even put myself back into my old mindset.. I used to cry every day, had no will to even get out of bed, and now the last time I cried was actually today - out of joy, while I was singing in the car. :))

I would truly recommend her to anyone struggling with negative thought patterns and anxiety. She really helped me see things from a different perspective - and instead of wasting time worrying, she taught me to approach things with an action plan instead. I have a job now, a partner, finally started writing my thesis - which I've been avoding for almost a year - and I feel like I'm finally actually excited to wake up :)) Which hasn't happened in so long I don't even remember.

Anyway - dear person reading this: I wish you the best on your journey! Betterhelp really helped me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you as well! :)
