Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Dorothy Prior. 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.
I've been on this platform for a little over two years and I'm very thankful to have connected with Dr. Prior recently. She's a fantastic listener, always remembering the finest details, and she has a very calming demeanor. I feel very safe and comfortable discussing deeply vulnerable topics with her. She does a lovely job of listening and asking questions, which is a balance I think is hard to strike. I feel very confident in her approach and ability to help me reach my goals. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Prior is amazing at what she does. She is insightful and understanding. She challenges you to be the best version of yourself. She makes you feel heard and respected. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for great counsel.

Dr. Prior actively listens and immediately picks up from where we recently left off throughout next sessions, which means she takes notes either mentally or physically, but I’ve never seen her write anything down. In addition, I know she is observing to see what I need/dont need. I feel comfortable sharing and we balance direction for our conversations, but its not all on me. I like that because I came for help. Im enjoying our sessions so far and I’m looking forward to the next.

I've been working with Dr. Prior for several months now and it's been wonderful. Not only is she an attentive listener, but she remembers even the smallest details about things I've mentioned. She also offers me the tools I need to work on myself outside off our sessions, which feels very collaborative. I consistently feel seen, heard, and understood by her.
