Rene is amazing and has helped me through so much. He’s empathetic, kind, and listens attentively and without judgement. I’ve come a long way because of him, and would highly recommend him.

Rene has helped me figure out so much about myself. I was hesitant about starting therapy at first, but after a few sessions with Rene I found myself becoming more and more excited about sessions. Rene is honest and always gives constructive feedback. The way he rephrases and clarifies my thoughts helps me figure out the messy and often difficult parts of my life.

I was in a really dark place during the winter months of COVID, I had doubts about my friendships, self-worth, and had lost the coping mechanisms that I was used to for years. At first I felt foolish for sharing some of my thoughts, thinking, "I sound so ridiculous after hearing myself out loud." Rene was so easy to talk to, he listened, and gave me advice that was non-judgmental, realistic, and effective. One thing I also loved about working with him, was that he shared his own life experiences with me, something that I wasn't used to in a counseling setting, but that made me feel less embarrassed and understood. It was like talking to a friend I'd known for years, we laughed a lot, and after only a couple sessions, I felt very comfortable sharing my life and challenges with him. I now have tools and new coping mechanisms to help me along the way, and I'm so very grateful. If I ever need additional counseling, Rene is my dude. Thank you for everything!

Rene is a great listener and really has a way of delving into what is most important, despite my thoughts being all over the place at times. I am appreciative of the way he helps break things down for me into more digestible bits of information, so that I can start to understand my experiences better.

Rene was assigned as my counselor and I couldn't be happier with his support. I've been working with him for about 2 months now and he's helped me get through some really dark times. When I first signed up for Betterhelp, I was experiencing depression unlike any episode I've had before. Rene gave me the tools and advice I needed to get through those days and that I can use anytime I feel those thoughts creeping back. I look forward to our sessions and can't thank him enough for the support and motivation he's given me. I highly recommend working with Rene!

Rene is one of the best listeners I've ever met. He offers concrete suggestions for problems that feel amorphous, and insights from his personal and professional experience that helped me understand my life and experience. I'm a fan.

Rene is a wonderful counselor and I am happy that BetterHelp was there to pair us together. He has been incredibly helpful, not just for being a great listener, but for guiding me through plans of action and helping me figure out steps I need to take. This isn't always the case with many therapists, but Rene's help has been hugely positive in my life.

Rene is a great counselor. It's almost like he has been through some of the things I have been telling him. He doesn't make me seem like I'm a bad person for the things I be sharing. I had counseling before but I didn't feel comfortable telling them everything. Rene is a great counselor.
