These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christopher "Chris" Rice. 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.
Chris is very passionate about his therapy and a great listener. Although he is very knowledgeable and observant, the conversations feel easy even though the topics aren't. I immediately felt safe to open up about the issues I was facing, and often it felt like having a conversation with a very good and concerned friend, where the realisation of where certain patterns (habits and thoughts) came from just came naturally, and then knowing that Chris was there to stand beside me to face them :)
I am very happy to have made the decision to start therapy and I'm happy to have gotten Chris as my therapist, as I could not have made the progress I did without his help.

The timing of Chris coming in my life could not be better! He was my one hour in per week, that brought clarity and peace that through his words and questions stayed with me in difficult times! I am beyond grateful for everything that he has done for me!

Chris is an extraordinarily good therapist. He is knowledgeable, dedicated, and has a very calming presence. I would really recommend working with Chris. He will give you clarity on yourself and is not afraid to ask questions that promote self-awareness and cathartic breakthroughs.

I have worked with Chris for about a month, but I already feel like we’ve known each other a long time. He is very patient, kind, and accommodating. We have only started to delve deeper into what I need to focus on going forward, but I’m very confident in Chris’ expertise and feel hopeful for the future.
