These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susanne Short. 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.
Susanne has listened to me since our first correspondence. She is honest, candid, caring, humorous - all while not shying away from helping me to learn the best way to approach the hard stuff. Having her in my life has been a game changer for me. Knowing that I can seek her out to work through hard spots, that I am able to schedule regular sessions, but that I can also send a message as I am in the moment - and, choose to share journal entries with her - makes a huge positive impact on my life. I have gone from feeling STUCK, to feeling SO MUCH HOPE within the first month of meeting with her.
I wanted a therapist that was able to help hold me accountable. She does this with such an appreciated balance of caring, and giving me goals to work on.

I've had a very positive experience with Susanne. It's been a lot like having a wise friend who you don't have to worry you are boring or monopolizing the conversation with. I appreciate her grounded approach and feel I've gained many useful insights from our time together.

Susanne is a breath of fresh air! I’ve never had a therapist before, but I think she’s probably the best therapist anyone could ask for, hands-down. She’s so supportive, down-to-earth, funny, non-judgmental, and she has lots of different recommendations and treatment methods, not just a cookie-cutter approach.
