I find it helpful that I can talk to her when it is convenient for me. I work at nights and it is nice to not have to go some where that would take extra time out of my day to drive. She has been helpful and I am comfortable talking about things.

I love Rachel. Not only does she respond to me when I need her eg when I am having a rough time, but she also reaches out to check on me when she hasn't heard from me in more than 3 or so days. I feel like she is genuinely invested in my well being.

I love my experience with Rachel! She knows what I need, sets goals and offers solid advice that fits my goals. Has been the best counselor I have tried here, and I have been through 2 others! SHE ROCKS!

Rachel is very kind and approaches things with a high amount of respect, and maintains the dignity of the people she works with. She also has good worksheets that help to open up things and get you thinking along lines outside of your own main train of thought. I would highly recommend her!

From the moment we first started chatting, I could tell Rachel was super understanding. It feels like she's my friend when I'm sending a message - she creates a great environment with no judgement where I want to be open. She's helped me discover things about myself I didn't know. Highly Recommend.

Written by J.O. on May 28, 2017 after counseling with Rachel for 6 days intimacy-related

I have to say Rachel is the best thing that ever happened to me. I've had issues that have plagued me all my life, and never fully understood, Rachel has patiently and lovingly listened and encouraged me to see myself in a new light. If you have been matched with Rachel as your councilor you very lucky, no one does it better...thank you Rachel.

Written by B.E. on May 11, 2017 after counseling with Rachel for 3 weeks depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related, and anger

Rachel was very timely in her responses and offered me practical tips to improve my marriage. She gave great feedback and helped me feel like I had a caring support person to reach out to when in-person visits were not possible with my work/home schedule.

Written by L.A. on May 08, 2017 after counseling with Rachel for 3 days stress, anxiety, career, and bipolar

I was getting discouraged with the counselling experience I had on here but then I was paired with Rachel. She seems genuinely interested in my story and in helping me through my mental illness and life conflicts. Rachel is quick to respond and provides thought out responses. I am looking forward to our first live session.

Written by M.I. on May 06, 2017 after counseling with Rachel for 1 month

Rachel is a great listener with affirmative words and is a constant source of encouragement. She also has good insight into people's thoughts and actions and attempts to use these to cater to the clients' needs. She allows you to go at your own pace and develops ways to encourage you to think differently about your issues. The best part was that she was quite responsive and would answer as soon as possible. I would like her to possibly show a bit more of tough love and encourage structure in the counselling sessions.

Rachel is great! She always responds quickly when I write a message to her and does a really good job of understanding and taking interest in what's going on with me. I would definitely recommend to someone seeking a potential therapist!

Rachel has been very helpful by asking good questions and helping me to find my own insight. She takes the time to respond to all of my questions which leads to a very engaging conversation. I look forward to gaining more insight.

Written by W.I. on Apr 11, 2017 after counseling with Rachel for 3 weeks family

Rachel has been a great help to me. She seems to understand when I am able to talk something through on my own and also when I need guidance to re-think my perception of an event.

Written by H.O. on Apr 05, 2017 after counseling with Rachel for 3 weeks depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship, grief, intimacy-related, and self esteem

Although I have been working with Rachel only for a short time, she has been helping me greatly. She observes things I don't, and sometimes just writing to her makes a difference. I'm really glad I found her and BetterHelp.

I've been on the BetterHelp site for approximately 3 weeks now and it's been a blessing having Rachel there to talk to about my situation. She's understanding and sensitive to the obstacles that are going on in my life as well as give her professional opinion. Thank you Rachel for everything you've done.
