These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Pamela Gerdes. 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.
I have been working with Pamela Gerdes for almost 5 months now and I truly believe if it would not have been for her expertise, wonderful understanding and kindness that I would not be in such a great place today. She has helped me immensely and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a shoulder as well as a little help.
