These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bridget Ideker. 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.
Bridget is attentive and a great listener. She allows space to reflect and ponder while also providing space to sit with one’s own feelings. Grief is felt and expressed in many ways and Bridget has helped to embrace and acknowledge the many faces of grief that I have worn throughout my healing.

Bridget is a strong and kind therapist who understands where a person comes from without judgment. She is direct but not pushy about ways I can change to living my life the way I prefer. Her advice is genuine and natural because she speaks from what she knows, which makes her advice believable yet open to interpretation so I can use it as I see fit for me. I’ve seen so much change, more than with majority of my therapist so I’m fortunate I ended up with Bridget.

I have loved every session with Bridget. She listens to me when I ramble on and get off topic but we always ends up where we started and she listens to me so well and understands what I am trying to say even when I don’t know how to explain it.

Bridget has been life changing for me. She values my feedback, is soft with my emotions, but strong when I need a push. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She is truly a light in this world.
