These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Roberto De Giorgio. 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.
Roberto is excellent at listening, being a sounding board, and giving feed back. Often it is incredibly helpful when he puts into his own words, what he hears to be sure he understands what I was saying. It helps me feel heard and validated, and also gives me new language to express myself.
HE’S THE BEST!!!

Roberto is fantastic. He takes my concerns into consideration and appropriately responds to the concerns and addresses them in a way that is helpful and useful to other situations as well.

Before starting therapy I was really down in the dumps. I did drag my feet with doing therapy because I just got into the thinking, "Oh it just be like that". I didnt want to do anything, I had negative thoughts all the time. However going to therapy, talking about ways that I might feel a bit better and actually taking action and doing these things has really helped me. Now I feel a lot more confident, I am learning more about all the things I can and cannot do. Im super glad that Ive been going to therapy and Mr. Giogio has helped me out sooo much. That's because the brain is like any other organ or limb, it gets injured or damaged and you need to be sure to take care of it. So if you are contemplating whether or not you should have therapy, I would say definitely do it.

Roberto was an amazing therapist. I started therapy because I was feeling lingering guilt towards an event from my past. Roberto helped me find the resolution I was seeking, and taught me strategies I can use if I find myself in a similar state of mind in the future. Roberto was non-judgmental and sensitive, yet direct, when addressing my past trauma. I worked with Roberto for 2 months -- he didn’t waste time or ramble in our sessions, and we were able to address my issues efficiently. I also appreciated Roberto’s sensitivity to religion. Religion is important to me, but I didn’t want it to be the primary focus of my therapy. Roberto told me that he was happy to discuss spirituality when I wanted to bring it up, but he wouldn’t bring it up himself. I would recommend Roberto to anyone!

My time with Roberto has been life changing. He has helped me become the person I’ve always wished I could be! He listens and truly understands and cares. His knowledge and expertise are top notch. Hands down best therapy experience I’ve had.

Roberto was my therapist for 8+ months altogether. I felt so much healing take place during this time. He was kind, supportive, validating, and helped me undo the beliefs I internalized from my childhood trauma. My life would not be what it is now. I believe he was a gift from God into my life. Roberto helped me break down walls I've had since I was a child, he helped me begin loving myself again, he helped me restore my faith in God once more and I was raised anti religious. Roberto helped me along a journey of internal healing and helped me discover freedom for the first time in my adult life. I'm so grateful for Roberto and his help. Thanks to him, I have learned how to be self sufficient in how to approach a problem that comes up, with love, and work through it. This has helped my relationship with myself, my husband, and how I view myself as a mother. A complete transformation. I cannot express my gratitude for his help in my life, it was exactly what I needed. I am eternally grateful.
