These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Spencer Ferguson. 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’ve only had two sessions with Spencer but I am extremely excited that I was matched with him. He is very very easygoing and down to earth in the way he talks, and for me he is very relatable. We carry on well and from the first few minutes of our first session I could tell that he was an honest, respectful, very intelligent and kind individual who really hoped to make a difference in the lives of his patients.

Spencer is so easy to open up with and talk to. He listens to me and I feel comfortable sharing my concerns and my life. He makes me feel like me and my journey are important to him. I definitely recommend him as a therapist to others.

I think Spencer is great, sometimes he wants to get more in to my past while I want to focus the present. Otherwise he gets all gold stars

I am very happy to have an amazing person like this to work with. I've been to many over the years and so far this is the best and most productive experience I've had. He is very easy to talk to and trust. He does go the extra mile to be compassionate , understanding and helps me talk through issues so I can identify issues that may need examined closer and worked on. This is exactly what I was looking for and have found. Id highly recommend him to anyone.

I just started talking with Spencer a few weeks ago and he gave me hope that I'll find solutions to my problems again. I felt hopeless-that I just need to accept that I'm not going to be happy anymore-,but he's helping me realize that there are indeed solutions and it's possible to be happy again.
