These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gordon Shearer. 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 highly recommend this therapist. From the first session, he came across as deeply knowledgeable, wise, and grounded, and I felt genuinely heard and understood when we met. He is an excellent listener and asked thoughtful questions that helped me clarify what I was feeling and why. He also used clear examples and metaphors that made his ideas easy to relate to and apply in my real life, which helped things “click” in a way they hadn’t before. I left sessions feeling supported, challenged in a good way, and better equipped with practical ways to move forward.

Mr. Shearer is easy going, transmits joy, sensitive to my breakdown, and understanding through my ups and downs. He suggests ideas to help me make good decisions for my treatment.

Gordon was an important figure in my recovery process (alcohol). He seemed to understand the challenges of the 12-step program. We grew comfortable enough to discuss some of my marriage and personal issues that contributed to my addiction in the first place.
For me, after detox, rehab (2x), IOP and regular AA meetings, a personal therapy connection was a necessary next step at the right time.

Gordon was very attentive and gave me the space to talk freely without feeling judged and was a great first therapist!
