These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Renee Giegel. 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.

Renee is excellent and very responsive (I accidentally put the wrong feedback on that question). She is very comforting and knowledgeable. She knows just what questions to ask and how to clarify and simplify the situation.

This is my first time working with a therapist and Betterhelp and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. I probably would have never sought out therapy in person, it took a lot for me to seek out virtually. Renee is a natural & professional at this. So nice to work with her and collaborate on ways to better my mental wealth and physical well-being. I have been doing better since speaking with her and hope to continue our work to making me a better version of myself. Thank you Renee!
