Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Yolanda Patterson. 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.
Yolanda has been my therapist for the last months, she is a great listener, always understands me and her suggestions for me are always the best.
I strongly recommend Yolanda Patterson.
Yolanda is very caring of the issues I’ve brought to her. She listens to every detail. I’ve had a great time explaining what I’ve been going through because I don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed, she makes me feel comfortable.
I really like my sessions with Yolanda Patterson. She gets me. She listens without judgement and gives me great feedback. She is very personable and makes our sessions very comfortable and safe to express myself.
Ms. Patterson is patient, a good listener and understands the goals I want to achieve from therapy.
Very understanding. Helps me see good perspective on things. Very kind. I feel safe with her.
Ms Yolanda provides me the time and opportunity to look deeper into situations that have allowed me to better understand me. I feel a calmness and clarity in my situation since our communications. My response is so different. I am super glad to have her as my counselor. She listens and provides perspective. Yes I would absolutely recommend her to others---She is for REAL!
Yolanda is very patient with me, she checks in when she hasnt heard from me for a while. She helps me set goals, she helps me think outside the box, and she helps me to see things from a different perspective in order to get my own life in order. I truly enjoy talking to her!
