These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sharon Rhodes. 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.
Sharon Rhodes has been unmeasurably beneficial to my wellbeing for over a year now. I started therapy with her after a brutal dissolution of a 10 year partnership having to rebuild myself and my life. BetterHelp matched me with exactly what I needed in a therapist: many years of professional experience.

Sharon is very down-to-earth and asks good questions. While she provides useful resources and helpful discussion toward goals, she leaves plenty of space for talk therapy and understanding the inner world of her clients. I can tell that she genuinely wants people to be well. Also, I must say that she navigates the online therapy tools pretty efficiently, compared with therapists I've worked with in the past. Overall, it's been a very good experience working with her so far.

Thank you, Sharon. A wonderful therapist. I had just started therapy for the first time and Sharon was incredibly patient, supportive and kind. She helped me keep my goals in mind as we worked on each of my concerns. And was so generous with all of the tools and exercises she provided. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sharon was very professional and really took into account all my feelings and did the very best job to get me to the other side of my issues. She provided me with more tools to deal with anxiety, depression, and ADHD than I’ve ever been provided in other therapists offices and this was virtual! Thank you sooooo much for all your advise and expertise, Sharon. You really made a difference.
