These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Scott Shaw. 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.
Dr. Shaw is a calm guiding hand in a turbulent sea of life. His background in various fields of therapy and psychology is evident. I wouldn’t have attained the quality of life I have today if it wasn’t for our weekly sessions. He is an excellent listener and regularly brings insights I was otherwise blind to, into our sessions. I cannot recommend Dr. Shaw enough.

Dr. Shaw has advanced clinical skills and compassion. I recommend him for both of these skills and a dedication he has to healing.

Dr. Shaw is a awesome therapist, and I’m going to continue to confide in him

Dr. Shaw and I have been seeing one another for just about a month now but from the start he was extremely easy to open up to, and made me feel comfortable and important. It’s nice speaking to someone who actively listens and engages instead of just quietly listening and telling you his opinions. He’s very receptive and respectful

I've been working with Dr. Shaw for about 2 months now and this is my first time working through the therapeutic process. I feel very comfortable sharing with him as well as receiving the valuable feedback he provides. Not leaving any time soon.

Dr. Shaw is a real joy to speak with. He has open ears, wise words, and is very relatable and likeable. I highly recommend him to anyone going through stressful times or situations.
