Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kerry Branum. 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.

Knowledgeable, yet personable, Kerry has a vibrant personality, listens carefully, and knows how to get to the heart of the problem, providing great insight when writing a summary of our session, offering materials that I can use throughout the week, and sometimes sending messages when necessary.

Kerry is amazing! He seems to know the perfect balance between when to engage and when to just sit back and let you word vomit. He is clearly passionate about his work, he is empathetic while being able to acknowledge your responsibility in things with you, and he is very supportive regardless of what phase you're in in this journey! I was extremely hesitant about therapy because it's hard to understand why anyone would care. Kerry seems to the care if for no other reason other than you're a human being struggling in life. Kerry is great and I would recommend him to anyone.

From the first session, Kerry was able to understand and deduce what was going on inside my head. I am able to work on myself with his help and he distills the important elements of that work and allows me to keep progressing without running in circles.
