These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gilda Axelrod. 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's kind, not judgemental, but also casual and mellow. I've had a lot of built up issues lying around and she does a good job of feeling like a long lost friend with a degree in therapy. Wonderful advice and way of thinking about things!

My therapist is top-notch, empathetic, insightful, and genuinely cares about my growth. They helped me navigate some tough stuff and gave me tools that actually work. Super professional and a safe space to be real. 5 stars isn't enough I'd give her a 20 if I could!
