Rene and I have been working together since COVID. I reached out in December of 2020 (NYE), and he was working. He ALWAYS works holidays, as he feels that's when people are in crisis. THAT's Renee! So darn generous with his time.
I am a very political, widowed person and a former nurse. I was receiving phone calls from nursing peers sharing horror stories about their fatal COVID cases. I was also reeling from too much social media. Rene worked with me, and I am now five years later, living with more gratitude, less anxiety, and a healthier lifestyle. I am not on FB anymore. I have cut down on my caffeine (nurses thrive on coffee), and I have accepted that after 15 years of widowhood, dating sites, and meet-ups, I am perfectly fine single, but I have not given up the "possibility of surprise," which is Renee's doing.
I have spent the last few years learning ballet, loving my family and friends, and understanding what normal anxiety is and what is not.
Renee is a dedicated REAL therapist. I only communicate with him by writing, as that is what I prefer. I can use my phone or laptop, and I never miss a time to write him.
I plan to be his client for as long as he continues to offer services. BetterHelp has given me a fantastic opportunity at a price I can afford. I am grateful. I am turning 70 next week, and I can honestly say, I love myself more than I ever have. Think about that statement. Isn't that the true ticket to happiness? Forgiving, not living with regret, and understanding how human we are and how we must love ourselves first to love others? That's Rene. He makes me feel sane in an insane world. Thank you to Renee and Betterhelp for their platform and caring attitude.

Rene Garcell is absolutely amazing. I connected with him from the moment we started speaking. I felt heard, and he was super caring from the beginning of our session, all the way to the end. I highly recommend him, for anyone looking for a sweet, compassionate therapist!

My therapist is very understanding and very upfront and honest. I love the quick responses and the way Rene makes sure I feel comfortable as well as keeps me grounded. Sets boundaries I need but is very sensitive in the same. I had doubts about therapy but Rene makes me feel like therapy is good and I feel the progress.

Mr. Rene has been incredibly patient with me through think and thin. I have been very happy with him, he has been accommodating, and respectful to my boundaries. I would highly recommend anyone to him.
