Jerry Crimmins

Jerry is blunt and honest. He's not going to sugar coat what you're dealing with or what he sees happening. But he gives realistic support and ideas to help you work through what's going on.

Jerry always gives me very considerate responses and offers a very unique and thoughtful perspective on whatever I bring to him.

Jerry has been a massive help to me! I really struggle with in person counseling, but between Betterhelp, and Jerry's expert advice and timely responses, I feel heard for the first time in a while. His responses are well thought out and well written, and really help me get a handle on what makes me feel better. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

He's great!

Very supportive and ingenious counselor, he makes it easy to open up and has great responses to my random issues.

I have been working with Jerry for almost a year now and his advice and expertise has helped me through SO much!! I’m really glad I signed up for Better Help.

Jerry is a kind and very understanding. He takes into consideration of your troubles and make sure you know your safe in your own decisions.

My relationship with therapy has always been a negative one - I was talked into doing therapy when I wasn't ready for it, and it's always left a negative taste in my mouth. When I signed up for Better Help and was paired with Jerry, I was so surprised at how kind he was about my life. Always telling me that it was okay for me to unload all my thoughts and feelings - it felt foreign to me. I even cried the first few times I'd get messages back because I was so relieved someone was listening to me, and letting me know what I was feeling was all okay. When I found out Jerry only does therapy through messaging, I was even more relieved. This is the perfect way for me to feel comfortable with therapy - I'm able to get my thoughts out better by typing them out than I ever have been in real life. Jerry has always been understanding and has great insights on so many things. Any problem I have he'll instantly have a solution or a way I can combat the problem. I will never be able to thank him enough for all the things he has done to help me in my life.

Jerry is empathetic, funny, thoughtful, and incredibly understanding. He's a great communicator and has solid advice. I'm glad that I can talk to him and I feel like he really cares.

Jerry does an amazing job sorting through incredibly complex issues and presenting techniques and insights. I was impressed early on that the help he offered me was immediately and practically useful.

Jerry is very understanding, responsive, and professional. He is very committed to understanding the situation fully and finding a healthy way to deal with it. I definitely feel better after talking to him.

I feel like I'm not the best at putting everything into words, but from what I do get across, Jerry is very helpful. He also has helped me uncover some things, so I'm sure the longer I interact with him, the more I will learn about myself.

I appreciate his support.

I have been with BetterHelp for almost a year and a half and there is nothing more reassuring than knowing that I always have Jerry to turn too. Mental health is something that affects everyone in one way or another and just knowing someone is there helps. The fact that Jerry seems to actually care makes a massive difference. I can honestly say he has improved my life and helped me better understand myself.

I have been very satisfied with Jerry's help. I'm very thankful that he was there in my time of need.

Dr. Crimmins is always prompt to respond my messages, and clearly took the time to get to know me, my needs and what matters most to me. He is successful in counseling in the on-line platform and I would highly recommend him for people like myself who need or want a counselor but don't have time to go into a physical office. My primary reason for utilizing BetterHelp was depression and anxiety. I think he is certainly well versed in treating those issues. If memory serves, he has many other areas of expertise. I have found him to be great at helping me with anxiety and depression specifically, and presume he is at least as well versed in other areas wherein he lists expertise.
I plan to continue to utilize Dr. Crimmins for the near future and would/will recommend him to others - especially for depression and/or anxiety.

Jerry was a bright light in a dark time. His timely and helpful insights helped me after a bad break up of a long relationship. I’d recommend him to anybody.

Jerry is a great listener and communicator. I am lucky to have him as my counselor! He is great at knowing my concerns and helping me through them.

Jerry is so understanding and handles my everyday needs and helps me feel like a better person.

Jerry is a chill and a good listener. It's nice to have him check in on me.

Jerry is responsive and takes the time to type out well thought out responses. Not only are they supportive, but offer an understanding and steps to a solution.

I really enjoy working with Jerry. I haven't been on BetterHelp long, which means I haven't been working with Jerry long, but he makes it really easy to open up to him. He really cares about his clients' success, I can tell. I have never enjoyed working with a counselor as much as I enjoy working with Jerry.

Jerry has been very approachable and friendly. He is easy to talk to and understands my situation. He has helped me through difficult times and continues to help me improve myself.

Jerry takes the time to listen and always comes up with a working solution to problems. He is very good at what he does.

Jerry is wonderful to work with. It is amazing to know someone is there for me. He has a great sense of humor as well as knowledge. I have enjoyed my experience so far with Better Help!

I have been working with Jerry for about 7-8 months. We worked on different issues and he adjusts each time to prioritize the more pressing matter. He checks in on me when I get too busy to reply and it really helps to maintain constant communication. I am very comfortable talking to him knowing I won’t be judged. Thank you, BetterHelp!

Jerry is a totally "real" personable counselor. I feel completely confident in his input and advice. He pulls no punches and makes you feel as though there is true progress.

I am new to online therapy, and so far I have had a better experience with this than I have ever had in an in-person setting. The idea that I can send a message and Jerry responds when he's available is awesome, as his response so far has been far quicker than waiting for your in-person therapist to call you back or squeeze you in for an appointment if an issue arises. You don't get that kind of personalized care in a clinic. My experience so far has been an excellent one, and I highly recommend Jerry, and this type of counseling.

Jerry has been great about acknowledging my issues but providing me tools to deal with them in a productive manner. That is the type of help I was truly seeking.

Jerry has been great to talk to! He understands what my priorities and worries are and offers great advice and help in order to get through the tough times. I recommend him 100%!

Jerry is very understanding, nonjudgmental, and provides solid advice. I have found that he provides strategies that I can employ in my life that help me tackle the issues that caused me to seek therapy. I really enjoy his sense of humor and the way he can add a lighthearted feel to a message, even if the issue at hand maybe dark or very personal. This makes it very easy to interact with him and have a more fulfilling dialogue!

Jerry is understanding, funny, and extremely insightful! So far he's been better than the more traditional counselors I've dealt with.

Talking with Jerry and examining where my stresses come from has helped to greatly reduce my anxiety. I have not had or felt close to any kind of panic attacks since we've begun talking and I have a better picture of what I was letting get to me, and how to react better in highly stressful situations.

Jerry is both funny, thoughtful, and willing to get the job done. I was unsure about online therapy, but he has done a great job of being responsive and offering resources I can try and apply to my life. I'm very thankful for all his time!

Very happy with Jerry so far. He doesn't offer phone consultations and I was a bit hesitant at first if messaging will work for me. It worked great. Jerry has a very good idea of what I talking about, gives me very relevant advice, has a great sense of humor and I always look forward to hearing from him.
Its like having a very smart friend always available for you.
I highly recommend Jerry.

Jerry has been great in helping me deal with my anxiety and depression. He's helped me develop some good strategies to cope going forward. Definitely a good guy to talk to. (He's got a nice light sense of humour too).

Jerry is a great therapist!

Jerry is wonderful and understands my situation very well. He does not pressure me nor is he judgmental. He checks in with me to let me know he is there for me and is very helpful.

Jerry has been very helpful and honest. He has helped me think through situations and put things in a different perspective that I couldn't see. I would say my first experience with online counseling has been a good one.

Jerry has been thoughtful, insightful, kind, humorous. I felt at ease opening up and sharing my thoughts with him straight away and I am very glad to have done so as it allowed for conversations that were both emotionally comforting and useful in a practical way. I can tell that he reads my messages with great care, and puts time and effort into his responses, in order to help me move forward.

Jerry has been a godsend. His logical, humorous, rational, and compassionate words are so healing. I have recommended him to everyone I know!

After seeing a therapist in person for a year and not making much progress I stumbled across BetterHelp and was a little skeptical about how much online therapy could help but I felt hopeless and didn't have anything more to lose so thought I would explore it.

Jerry was incredibly insightful and was able to pick up on things that my current therapist didn't. He was direct, on point, knowledgable as well as encouraging, empathetic and someone I felt I could trust even though we had no face time. The resources and worksheets he shared were very helpful and I continue to use them. Most of all he gave me a potential diagnosis for a personality disorder so I will now be seeing a psychiatrist in person to get his evaluation and can finally move forward with getting the appropriate treatment.

Jerry is helpful, understanding, and is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend working with him.

Kind and helpful guidance, makes sure you know he's available anytime and provides good advice.
