These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary "Christine" Lawson. 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.
Christine has been such a blessing to me. She is professional, but kind. She challenges me, but values and validates my perspective. As I continue to work with Christine I can feel deep wounds that I have buried or been too afraid to ever explore actively being healed inside my mind, body, and Spirit. I am so grateful for the support, time, and effort Christine pours into getting to know me and helping me grow in knowing myself better.

She was awesome at listening. She gave good tips and insights about my past and my current state. Her voice is soothing and has you just talking before you know it. She is very skilled and great at her profession. Thank you Christine.

Christine is a true professional. She is one of the best therapist I have ever seen. She has terrific active listening skills that lets me know she is paying attention to only me during my sessions. If she wants you to try an exercise she doesn’t just tell you the steps and leaves it up to you to make sure you are doing it correctly , she walks you through it entirely. She is the most knowledgeable professional I have found when it comes to DBT and BPD. She is also checking in between sessions while I struggle to and that is a big help.
