These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Audrey McDougal. 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.
Audrey is the best listener and question-asker. She's an absolute expert on working with people. She makes me feel so safe to share openly and honestly about what is on my mind, I never feel judged in the slightest, and she walks with me on the path to discover more about myself. She doesn't give unsolicited advice or pressure you to implement any suggestions, but rather listens to understand where you're coming from and works with you to figure out what route would make the most sense and feel right for you. I love talking through things with her whether big life changes or small insecurities, both about external happenings and internal thoughts -- she helps me navigate it all to be on course for my week.
I have had other therapists before, but Audrey is by far my favorite. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for support and guidance in life!
