These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bernadette Graham. 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 am dealing with a lot of complexity in my life right now. I lost my mother to Alzheimer’s a year ago. My father is aging and can do less and his memory is getting affected. I am living with my father and caring for him. I have a daughter with a lot of emotional health issues. I am a doctor still working three days a week on a demanding schedule as I try to transition to retirement. I am trying to find a balance with all these things going on in my life. Bernadette actually has had some good insights into what that looks like and what is reasonable as I try to figure out how to set boundaries and forge my continuing life into a life that is satisfying to me. She actually understands what the demands are on me as the mother of my child, as a daughter coping with care of aging parents and as a doctor trying to provide good care in a stressful environment. I am still a work in progress, but working with Bernadette, I have more belief I will eventually be able to sort it all out.

She great

Ms. Graham is an excellent therapist who makes me feel comfortable and gives me advice as well as things to work on. I’m a big fan of her conversation style that feels more like relating to a friend more than opening up to a therapist. Exactly what I’m looking for in a therapist and looking forward to completing our work.
