These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bridget Meranda. 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.
The connection we have created along with her knowledge and expertise have allowed me a safe space to not only work on the areas that can be improved, but facilitated incredible self growth. I am truly grateful for everything she has helped me with. She is warm and personable and has really been able to make starting, and coming back so easy

She is a Rock. Knows what she is talking about and helps me when I second guess myself to bring me back to center.

She is an amazing woman, she listens, she is so easy to talk to, it feels like I am talking to a close friend and not a therapist which makes things so comfortable for me.
