These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sharen Robertson. 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.
Sharen has been a wonderful therapist for me over the last two years. I was terrified at first but she was nothing but patient and professional. We've built a great deal of trust and her support has become invaluable to me as I've grown these past two years. She knows exactly when to challenge me and does so with great finesse. I have no doubt that I'll continue to see her for many years to come. I couldn't recommend her highly enough, I feel I stuck gold first time with her as my therapist.

Oh Sharen is great. We’ve been working together for 3 years, she’s been very supportive, kind, considerate, and a real helping hand. She’s helped me deal with very difficult situations in my life especially in the last year, and I’ve really felt a difference between the person I was when I first met her to who I am now.

Sharen is an amazing therapist who brings warmth, understanding, and a great sense of humor to every session. She has a unique way of making me feel at ease, even when discussing difficult topics, and her humor adds a lightness that makes the process so much more comfortable. One of the most valuable things she’s taught me is how to use the 'gorilla fist,' a technique that has been a game-changer for managing stress and anxiety. Sharen’s combination of empathy, wisdom, and practical tools has truly helped me grow, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support.
