Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sheryl Palinski. 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 never thought therapy was for me or that it worked on anyone. But it has helped me a lot. Sheryl has been so kind, sweet, and wise. Here advice and her help has helped in so many many ways. I can't thank her enough.

Sheryl makes me feel safe, heard/validated. And she always responds in a reasonable amount of time. I don’t feel judged when I speak and I can tell that she cares.
