These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dionne Gerfen. 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 listens and doesn’t judge. She has helped a lot already just by the few sessions I have had.

Dionne is a pleasant doctor who immediately put me at ease. She is calming and helps to keep my conversations focused as I can bounce all around with the things that seem to get to me the most. She makes me feel like I'm talking things over with someone I've known for a long time. even though I am a newer client.
