Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rhonda Palmer. 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.
She is very kind and intuitive. I love her being my therapist.
I really appreciate how she listens to me! I have a hard time feeling like my feelings are validated but she has helped me be heard!
simply the best!!!
Rhonda has been nothing but amazing this whole time. I am so thankful to have met her. She is always quick to respond no matter the time of day. Anytime we talk she sends worksheets and tools to help me with certain things I’m struggling with at that time.
Very personable, she is a great listener and thereapist
I HIGHLY recommend Rhonda. After trying a few different therapists, she made therapy such a positive, warm, welcoming experience for me. I never felt judged, but always felt heard and understood. Seriously couldn't recommend her enough!
Rhonda is so easy to talk to. She listens and shares valuable insights and resources as well as sharing stories about herself or others to help me feel like I'm not so alone.
Rhonda is amazing. She is so down to earth but knows how to pull the best out of you. She always responds to anything that comes up with the best advice.
She listens and validates my concerns. Very easy to talk to. Makes realistic suggestions to help me.
She's the best! Highly recommended!
Rhonda has been amazing to work with! I really enjoy her friendly and informal approach to therapy. She has really helped me reconnect with myself.
Rhonda is super helpful, she listens to everything I have to say, helps me in so many ways
I really like Rhonda, she's very down to earth, attentive and understanding. I always look forward to our session each week.
Very helpful
I was very hesitant about starting therapy and sharing my life with a stranger. However, Rhonda has been absolutely amazing. She makes me feel so comfortable and provides a great perspective on my experiences. Always enjoy our conversations.
She is so great and personal. 10/10 hands down the best
This strides that I have made personally since I have started to see Rhonda has been amazing the way she says things the care she shows in the words she chooses she makes her words matter and has been beyond helpful I'm so grateful to have found this type of counseling and to have they connected with her there's not a specific word or even enough words that describes this feeling when it's a little too much I can just hop on my phone and be like hey Rhonda you got a Sunday available she rocks
Very understanding. It has not been long but has already helped provide me with information that is helping me have a healthier life.
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. I had bad experiences in the past with therapists but she is very accommodating and very easy to work with. I will be continuing sessions with her for as long as I need to.
Rhonda is so kind and and encouraging, very positive. I feel like she is always cheering me on! I love that she responds with helpful feedback to my journals. I really feel like she is a good fit for what I need right now. Very happy to have found her!
Even though I have only had a handful of sessions, Rhonda has already given me multiple tools to help me that are highly relevant to my needs and I find myself starting to implement them in my daily life. Rhonda is a fantastic listener and I feel so comfortable talking with her and opening up in a genuine manner. I really look forward to our sessions and diving in to better understand myself and engage with the world in a more healthy way.
Rhonda is straight forward, knowledgeable and genuine. If I had to pick the qualities in a therapist I wanted most, those would be it. She sends worksheets, videos, messages to help me work through my many issues. No one has listened to me the way that I have received from her! Would rate 10/10 every session.
Rhonda is great! She is patient and gives great feedback for any problems that I may have
I think Rhonda is amazing! She helps me a lot even when I don’t talk to her much and missed some sessions, she is there when I need her and I really appreciate that!! She does a good job and I like how she is into the whole holistic healing type deal that I’m in. I really appreciate her!
Rhonda is fantastic! She brings a wonderful energy into the session that I haven't had with other therapists. She listens and provides insightful feedback to help me work through my problems. I can't recommend her enough, as she's been very helpful in showing me the tools I need to be a more successful version of myself. Thank you Rhonda!
Rhonda helped me throughout a very difficult time in my life. She is incredibly empathetic and goes out of her way to address the issues that you bring up with her.
Rhonda is a great counselor. She brings the skills as a real-world and relatable style to our conversations. I like how she discerns what my issues are and we dive into them. From there, she makes good suggestions and holds me accountable.
Rhonda is down-to-earth and patient. Her help has opened my eyes to how I can help myself more!
Rhonda is highly empathic and thoughtful in setting therapy around what works for you as an individual. She is also highly responsive on the messaging board and very easy to talk to.
I tend to have a hard time explaining myself. Rhonda has read thoroughly through my messages and is helping me tremendously to understand what it is that i'm going through. Highly recommend
Rhonda is so easy to talk to you and she truly listens to what you are going through. She also has a great sense of humor which also makes our sessions go so much better. Rhonda likes to challenge your thinking and that is what I love about her!
