My journey here on BetterHelp with Ronald has been truly incredible. Everything from his exceptional support and guidance throughout our sessions together is so much more than what I expected given this is my very first therapy (in life!). His compassionate listening and insightful feedback made me feel truly seen and understood, and I was beyond amazed to see my own personal growth. For that, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for his work here on the platform. Highly recommended!

I wasn't confident in therapy until I met with Ronald. I feel like he is very intelligent and a great therapist and I feel he understands and listens to me well and is able to digest what I'm saying well, even if I may not myself. He made me believe in therapy again and I am very happy to have met and be paired with him. I don't always know what to say but I always enjoy our sessions.

I’ve been working with Ron for about two years now and it has been quite the healing journey. He really lets you run the sessions however you want but always makes an effort to leave off on a positive note which I truly appreciate.

I've been working with Ronald for about a month, and it has been such a helpful and uplifting experience!! He is incredibly positive, a highly skilled listener, and has offered me many useful tools and resources to help me on my journey. My conversations with Ronald each week have become a lifeline for me during a very stressful time in my life. He truly creates a safe space and a no-judgement zone for me to share my most difficult feelings and struggles. His years of expertise really shine through in the depth and clarity of his perspective. We had a wonderful connection right from the start, and I always leave our sessions feeling more confident, happy, and calm. It's a real gift to have a therapist you can laugh and have fun with, but who also has a deep respect for your pain and the intensity of your situation. Ronald is truly an all-star therapist, so grateful to have him in my life!

A little over a year ago I was places with Ronald through Pride Counseling/Better Help. A cannot think of any counselor or therapist that I have had in the past who was able to balance the depth of our conversations with a lightness and humor that Ronald can. Having deep and meaningful conversation where I can be honest is such an important part of the therapeutic process for me, but also being able to laugh and joke can be just as important- and is essential for me, personally. This makes me feel so deeply grateful for Ronald in particular, and his incredible ability to listen carefully and respond thoughtfully AND to laugh along with me when that is what is needed. Fittingly, Ronald and I call many of our sessions "laughter therapy," and it reminds me that no matter what is going on in my life, there is always something to smile about.

Hi Ron is a custom fit to me needs. My journey wouldn't be a successful with someone else. My needs are living with a narcissistic family and he has exceeded my expectations.
Thank you Ron

I was skeptical of being able to engage in therapy through a virtual platform but the wait for in person sessions was very long so I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. My experience with Ronald has been incredible. I feel that he was able to make me feel supported as well as challenge me to think about my anxiety from a different perspective. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and made me feel comfortable and confident.

I am currently seeing Ronald and he is an amazing therapist I would recommend to anyone wishing to address their mental health. His expertise, kindness, and understanding are things I look forward to seeing every week. He is a great listener who will promote speech in every consultation so I am definitely feeling heard by him, especially when he acknowledges every word and their context for the therapy.
Overall, Ronald is the best of the best and I am thankful he is my therapist.

Ronald is very welcoming, compassionate, and approachable. For anyone who’s had bad experiences in therapy (as I have in the past), or who might be apprehensive altogether, Ronald will make you feel very safe and comfortable to be yourself. He has a great sense of humor and takes a human-centered approach. For once I’m not dreading therapy sessions - I actually look forward to them. Ronald is not so prescriptive as he is a great listener who asks all the right questions to help you come to your own conclusions. I would recommend Ronald to anyone :)

I was very wary at first of having a male therapist as I was hoping for a female due to my trauma. But I actually ended up really loving working with Ron. He’s very understanding and perfect for me. We work really well together and I very much enjoy our sessions. I feel like we’re really getting somewhere in my therapy and I’m so thankful for him.

Ronald is amazing!!! I feel like that is so much that I shouldn’t even continue this review but I am going to.
After years of floundering with different providers that were not a great match I have found a person who is on the same level as I am and one of the first things that he said that I will never forget is that we are all human beings.
He makes it extremely simple to start working on whatever you are there for, there is no judgment or the feeling of opinionated and Advising what you should do or constantly asking you well how does that make you feel??
If you are at a place where you know exactly what you were trying to accomplish and you want somebody who is extremely intelligent and intellectual with an amazing sense of humor, and it feels more like a person that is at the same level as you versus an authoritarian figure which I have never felt in my many years of going to psychologists and therapists. The feeling I get is that I am the expert about who I am and what I need and he is there to listen and work with me and I really appreciate how open minded and with a what a broad her Rison he sets. he’s very easy to schedule with he tries to make your life easier when it comes to everything and I have never since this before it’s wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful!!! Very quick responses if you want to schedule an extra session or change something and very attentive and engaged at the same time as his perspective on things which to me is truly a very complementary skills and characteristic in a great mental health professional but also you feel like you were building a relationship with a person! I just could write forever about all the wonderful experiences and this is just based off of one session and a few text messages so please if you are looking for somebody in that world give him a try! While appointments last because I have a feeling he’s going to be completely booked very soon!
