These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dorothy Taylor. 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 continue to have an incredible positive experience working with Dorothy. From the very first session, she created a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up. Dorothy has a genuine ability to listen deeply while also offering thoughtful insight and practical tools that made a real difference in my personal growth.
What stood out most was her patience and compassion. She never rushed the process or made me feel pressured, instead, she met me where I was and supported me at my own pace. Over time, I noticed meaningful improvements in how I manage stress, communicate with others, and understand myself.
I would highly recommend Dorothy to anyone seeking a therapist who is not only skilled and professional, but also truly caring and invested in their clients’ well-being.

She is welcoming and easy to talk to. I don’t really confide in people much but Mrs. Taylor makes you feel like you can vent without being judged. She’s funny and she keeps it real. This is my first time experiencing therapy and so far it has been good. I Would recommend Mrs. Taylor to anyone looking for a therapist that will listen and tell you what you need to hear about yourself with no sugar coating. 10/10
