These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Renee Kerns. 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 was prompt, attentive, thoughtful, and professional. She was easy to get to know, always made me feel comfortable, non judgmental, and an excellent listener. Her delivery was genuine, and skill set appropriate and helpful.

When I first sought therapy with Better Help, I had gone through a series of rejections in my job search. My confidence and motivation had plummeted. Renee's support has been consistent and comforting for me, and she has helped me to see that my inherent traits and experiences that I perceived as handicaps were actually strengths that I can own (and in some cases even showcase to prospective employers). She also believes in me consistently, which is important especially when I feel burnt out and start to doubt that I'm on the right path!
