Richard Strand

Very helpful

I trust Richard with understanding what I'm going through. I need to work on myself

Richard has quite frankly helped me change my life. He has saved my life. Richard always takes the time to ask the right questions. He always takes the time to really listen to what you’re saying, and not saying.

Richard is very experienced. He has a multitude of tools in his Toolbox and our sessions are very structured with our therapy aims always in mind. We do have a laugh too though. I cannot say exactly what it was, but my thinking has changed. I am more confident, more compassionate (with myself) and much happier. I am so grateful I have found Richard through betterhelp and can recommend him 100%.

I am at a better place since I started talking to Richard.
I feel supported and understood.

Richard is very supportive and offers great guidance. He has help me a lot with tough decisions of which I was going through

Richard is a great listener, and most importantly- he asks the right questions to get me thinking about my problems in a different but helpful and productive manner- which ultimately helps me work though my issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to a friend or family member.

I’ve been chatting with Richard for almost a year and a half. I’ve certainly come a long way from when I started. I could have stopped by now, but I enjoy learning new things about myself that Richard is able to help me think through. I think therapy is even more beneficial when you’re not dealing with a crisis. So consider it even if tou don’t think it’s needed. You’d be surprised what you’ll pull from yourself.

Richard is a very understanding individual.
I had many years of therapy done, and never felt such a great connection like I have with Richard.
I'm glad I started better help and specially with Richard.
Thanks

I would recommend Richard to anyone in need of assistance: whether it is your first time in therapy or - like me - you had many therapists in the past. He has great listening skills and analytical skills.
He also respects and adapts to your level and state of readiness.
In addition to my therapy sessions, I had readings and exercices which really helped me better understand and apply "healing" methods in order to progress towards wellness. Remember: you, as a patient, must do your work as well.
I am very grateful to have been matched with Richard via the BetterHelp app.
In these times or pandemic, having qualify therapists who provide professional services online and/or remotely, is crucial.
Finally, having a good sense of humour was a welcomed plus for me!
Thank you Richard Strand!
Forever Grateful.

Richard is patient, insightful, and clear. With his expertise I was able to resolve deeply troubling issues within myself as well as get myself set up for a bright and exciting future. I would definitely recommend working with him!

Richard is the best. Thoughtful. Understanding. Caring. Always prepared with tremendous empathy, insight, and appreciation.

Therapy is interesting.. because you still have to do the work! Nobody can do it for you

Richard however has been pushing me along an amazing path of helping me heal and get in touch with myself again and remember my values as a human being

I haven’t felt so centred with myself in a very long time and I’m very grateful to Richard and BetterHelp

I really look forward to meeting with Richard every week at the session. I feel understood and his insight is really helpful. I feel much better since I have been under his guidance, and hope to continue improving and growing.

So far my experience with Richard has been so nice. We’re chipping away slowly at things and looking down the road to brighter days! I’m very happy so far and I look forward to our session every week!

Dr. Strand is a professional, knowledgeable and respectful counselor. I had my reservations about using an app based therapy program and about in general and he really put my mind at ease and I felt instantly comfortable talking with him.

Have a very good feeling talking to him.

Great initial experience. Looking forward to seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes.

He is very very supportive and has great concrete practical ways to help you repattern and make behavioral changes. He helps me feel safe and confident in my evolution.

Richard is excellent! He listens to his patients and effectively helps the patient to deal with their concerns. We set goals and tasks for me after every session and this is very helpful! I highly recommend him. He has been super helpful for me.

Richard Strand has been wonderful. He has really helped me work on myself. He gave me tools and techniques to change my thinking and behaviors for the better. He has also helped me to move forward in my life with things I wanted to do, like continue my education. I highly recommend Richard Strand and I am grateful for all he has helped me with.

Richard has a lot of experience and it shows. His depth of knowledge on a range of issues shows in our talks. He has a nice manner, very calm and often funny. I would reccomend.

Richard is great!

Richard really listens and takes in all that you're saying. He provides a different perspective when you're stuck. He also has a sense of humor which helps reduce the amount of seriousness to the conversation at times.

Richard does a great job of listening to your problems and providing insightful feedback. He's really good at explaining methods to tackle your issues and confront them. He's also really good with communication.

Richard is an excellent therapist and has helped me adjust to many life changes. With his help I have been better able to reflect on myself and situations that have arisen in a better light. I highly recommend Richard if you need a caring, compassionate and knowledgeable person to speak with.

He's calm, collected, structured and goal oriented. He seems confident about his own skills and gives one a feeling of acceptance, okayness and hope. Recommendable.

Richard is a very nice and professional person, I am lucky to have met him!

I love Mr. Strand's balance between being hands on and not over stepping any bounds. I am a woman and I have trust issues with the opposite gender. I never had a male therapist because I had some reservations about the interaction. So far he has actually surpassed my other 3 female counselors with professionalism and empathy.

The sessions with Richard have been extremely helpful. He has been warm, understanding and knowledgeable. He's able to create an effective therapeutic space online. It's always easy to get in touch with him; he responds quickly to my messages and has had convenient times available for video sessions, despite the time zone difference! I can't thank him enough for his support and for sharing his expertise.
