These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ruth Hood. 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.
I have only met with Ruth once on a phone call, but from that first encounter with her she made me feel welcomed and listened to my concerns. I would really recommend Ruth to anyone that asks me for a good therapist that actually listens and doesn't treat her patients as just another number. When looking for my therapist I was looking for someone that would also add some Christian believes in our sessions and she has done it.... I truly love my therapist
