These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Shephard. 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 actively recommend Christine to my friends. She has helped me turn my life around. I eat regularly now. Am healthy. I know boundaries. Understand when I need to stop and breathe. I feel like crying when I think of how much Christine has helped me take control of my life again but I know that is just my amygdala taking over because she taught me that!

I've only had 2 sessions with Christine, but so far I'm very pleased and look forward to continuing to work with her.

I have only had 2 sessions with Christine, but I feel like I she has been treating me for years. Very knowledgeable and patient. You can tell she has many years of experience

Christine is very kind and knowledgeable. It is easy to talk to her, even about the not-so-easy-to-talk-about things. While I'm great at impeding my own progress, she is always there to encourage me along and reassure me that I am making progress, and I can get to where I want to be. Sometimes, I just need a different perspective and Christine is great at presenting those and helping me identify different (and often healthier) ways to think about something.

I have only met with her twice, but I like that she prefers video session and she is very knowledgeable and friendly.
