These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bear Donna. 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.
Bear is a great help and has, in a very short time, given me a lot to work with in terms of the possible circumstances I find myself in and what I can do about it. He has a been a steady companion, which for me is very important at this time, while I am going through a bit of a transition (between jobs).

Bear is a wonderful listener and therapist, and makes me feel very welcome to be myself and honest. Already I notice improvements in my life after speaking with Bear, and for that I am very grateful! I am glad I have started therapy.

Already after the first session getting Bear Donnas perspective helped me see things more clearly and most likely avoided a lot of chaos and drama down the line.
Can recommend and would definitely do sessions with him again, if I feel like I have other things to work through

Bear managed to identify my ADHD symptoms in the first session. I have been in therapy for 2 years with no much results but now I can feel I can address the problem at its root. Definitely recommended
