Rhonda is real and I appreciate her realness. She is very attentive and helpful.

This is my first time doing therapy, and I never expected it to go this well at all. If you happen to get Rhonda as your therapist, I consider you very lucky.
Rhonda is incredible. She’s Very knowledgeable and it feels more so you’re venting about life with your best friend and that’s really nice to have. She sits down and is willing to have a heart to heart conversation with you and just listen to your story, and if you want her opinion on a situation or person, she doesn’t beat around the bush and gives you her opinion. She asks sophisticated questions that make you think and reflect deeply. She doesn’t act or ask robot therapist questions. To summarize Rhonda is a genuinely good person trying to help others through their struggles. I wouldn’t have made it this far through my process if it wasn’t for her.
Thank you for an amazing experience through this journey so far Rhonda. You’re a rock star!!!

Rhonda has been a great therapist for me and my needs. I had a previous therapist from a private practice and I felt that I wasn't being held accountable or wasn't doing the work I wanted to do. Rhonda is great at keeping me on task and also sending me resources and homework to do outside of our sessions. I feel like I'm finally doing the work to tackle the emotional and mental health needs that I have.

A year ago today I started therapy. I signed up on BetterHelp. I was completely lost in life. I was in such a dark place and didn’t know how to get out of it. I matched with my therapist and I immediately used all the tools possible. I journaled to her right away. Paragraphs about my life. I will never forget the first day we talked. I cried for almost the whole hour we talked. I am genuinely a happy person but was so lost. I needed to find myself again. My therapist Rhonda is hands down the ABSOLUTE best. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. I owe her everything. She has helped me tremendously. She pushed me when I needed to be, she’s hyped me up, she’s called me out and always had my best interest. I found my happiness and realized my self worth. I have overcome things I never thought I could. I have learned so many tools to help me move forward in life. I am thankful for BetterHelp. This has allowed me to be matched with Rhonda who has absolutely changed my life for the better. Rhonda deserves the absolute world. I am forever grateful for her.
Again and I mean it. THE BEST THERAPIST.

Rhonda is the most attentive, caring, and understanding person I’ve talked to. She truly WANTS to help me and is ALWAYS there when I need her. Anytime I am having troubles and message her to talk about it she is always right there, giving me advice or talking me down from my anxiety. She’s always on time to our appointments and ready to hear about what I have going on. I would recommend her to anyone.

Rhonda is honestly the most thoughtful, kind and caring! When I first joined better help I was matched with a therapist that would not respond and I’m so glad I changed my therapist because then I was matched with Rhonda! She had no open spots so I messaged her and right away I got a reply of her telling me when she has any availability. Rhonda went out of her way to message me time availability’s that she had open and tried to work it around my schedule! I really truly appreciate Rhonda!

I started my journey into therapy with Rhonda at a time when I was completely stuck in my life. She helped me see what I wanted and what I valued.

Rhonda has already helped me deal with some of the stress in my life in just a few sessions. She is always finding worksheets and meditations to suggest, and most importantly she actually listens to what I'm saying.

Rhonda is straight forward, knowledgeable and genuine. If I had to pick the qualities in a therapist I wanted most, those would be it.
