These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gretchen Van Blair. 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.
Gretchen has already had such a positive impact on my life over the past month. She's helped me process difficult feelings, find realistic and actionable solutions, and identify some major relationship blind spots that needed to be addressed. I'm so thankful for her guidance and expertise, and am excited to grow and learn much more in the coming year.
