These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susan Gallagher. 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.
She is attentive and actually listens to you. She doesn’t try to tell you what you want to hear. She will be up-front but compassionate. I really enjoy her and trust in her!

She is by far one of the best therapists I've ever had. She's very responsive and was able to identify my struggles and offer helpful solutions and advice after just one session. I HIGHLY recommend Susan!

Susan gets to the heart of things at a reasonable pace, and is fantastic at hearing. She is able to provide valuable feedback and insights, making her a trusted and respected voice in both personal and professional settings. Susan's contributions to our sessions have gone far beyond just the topics at hand. She has offered valuable perspectives and advice on regular daily life issues, such as relationships, work, and self-care. She is also equally comfortable discussing deeply personal matters, and is willing to be vulnerable and open in exploring her own feelings and experiences.
