Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ruth Gordon. 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.
Ruth is amazing, words can't even begin to express how amazing she is. My wife even loves her, I tell my wife about what Ruth and me talk about and my.wife smiles and says good, I'm glad you'll listen to her. Ruth challenges me like nobody else ever has in the best way possible. She'll push me on difficult subjects but is there to help and support helping you grow. If she ever retires, I'm done with therapy, she is that amazing and nobody can ever be as great as she is.

Ruth is so wonderful! She understands me, offers helpful advice, and helps me work through the challenges I’m facing. I leave each of our calls feeling better and more calm than I did before. She is always in my corner and I know I can count on her! I would recommend Ruth to anyone.

I highly recommend Ruth Gordon. Since I’ve joined Better Help in April, she has helped me realize what was in me all along; the ability to change the narrative in my life. Today, I am empowered. I trust myself and the decisions I make. I’ve been releasing the tether I’ve had to others and have no more attachments. This gives me the freedom to discover ME.
Life is ebb and flow. Some days are better than others but the freedom of mind helps you to live instead of survive.
I am thankful that I took the step to start therapy. It took great courage on my part to trust that someone could hear me and ultimately see me, helping me to see myself.
I am a better version of the woman I was six months ago. Consistency is key.
Thank you, Ruth Gordon, for your compassion, professionalism, and experience. Thank you, Better Help for providing a platform that is accessible and affordable for everyone.

Ruth is consistently there, warm and pleasant, and validates my concerns as well as my emotions. She is easy to talk to and I do tend to feel better after our chats. She pays attention, listens, and I feel comfortable in addressing all I am going through with her.
