These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Heidi Bailey. 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.
Heidi has been the best therapist that I've had. She's really helped me and we are really digging down into places that need to see light so my life can be better from here on. She's a very smart, gentle and compassionate person. I highly recommend her!

I have only had one meeting with Heidi so far, but she made me feel that what I was expressing to her was important and she was very easy to talk to. I just completed a few assessments and worksheets that she sent me and have scheduled my next appointment with her.

Heidi has initiated every phone call with a sweet, open and non-judgmental attitude and environment from the get go. She is an excellent, focused listener and demonstrates care in various effective approaches during the session. She has given great resources and energetically never feels suffocating, or pushy. She reads the room has supported me in blunt ways when she could tell I could handle it, and in gentle ways when deemed appropriate. - THANK YOU

Heidi has helped me through a very difficult time in my life, with the trauma from my previous marriage and helping me align myself with my values in life again. She has challenged the way that I perceive the situations I am going through in my current life struggles and bettered my understanding of what I want from my life for myself, my family and my future relationships. I highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling in life with the challenges that we all face every day.

I haven't had a chance to formally meet with Heidi yet. Since our first session is booked in a few days from now, but she has been so present and engaging over messages. I feel very supported by her line of questioning and responses. She has offered up much space to get to know me and my reasons for seeking out therapy. It feels weird to say this, but I am actually excited to meet with her for our first session.

Heidi is an exceptional therapist. I initially came to therapy for help getting out of a constant state of anxiety and frequent panic attacks.

Our work together has been transformative. Highly recommend!
