These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Parker Anderson. 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.
Working with Parker has really changed my perspective about online therapy services like betterhelp; while I initially thought building rapport would be so difficult in this manner, it happened in record timing. Parker is always quick to send a link, recommendation, or resource related to topics or challenges I am discussing, and clearly has worked hard to develop a vast encyclopedia of resources to share. Working with them underlines the delicate balance between holding the personability required to establish a trusting therapuetic relationship, as well as the clear designation of support roles; the appropriate awareness to my needs as a patient.

Parker is truly a gem. Emotionally intelligent, deep, caring and the right amount professional while still being so humane. I feel so safe with him. He just gets it. Hope to continue working with him for a long time and would highly recommend.

He does an excellent job of meeting a person where they are at in life, coming along side, and helping them move forward
