These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Darwin Crosland. 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.
From the very start, Darwin nailed down exactly what my issues were. As soon as I detailed my needs and experiences in my initial bio, he responded with a comprehensive psychoanalysis that was a HUGE lightbulb moment. I felt understood and heard immediately and knew that working with him would be a benefit, and it has been. After the very first session I was able to develop basic skills that turned my entire relationship around, helped me view myself and my experiences in a brand new light and have brought me immense peace. My trust issues are noght-and-day compared to what they were prior to speaking with him. He is a brilliant therapist who listens and has a deep well of experience that is relevant and without him, I'd be floundering. My relationship would have failed if I had kept on the same path, that is for certain. I can't begin to express the gratitude I have for Darwin, and wish I had chosen therapy 10 years ago. I've developed real trust in myself and my partner and have reached a place in my relationship I never thought I would ever get to, and whenever I feel myself slipping back into old thought processes, I simply remind myself of the tools I have now thanks to him. Without being dramatic, he is a genius in his field and I could not have asked for a better therapist or friend to lean on and open up to. I went into therapy with an open mind and a willingness to be completely open and despite the difficulty of opening up, it has worked wonderfully. I could go on and on and on about my experience with him so far. If I can say anything about this experience, it is that I am finally happy and capable of trust. I can't recommend him enough.
Thank you Darwin for your continued support and your help in developing my view of the world and myself. I owe you more than I could ever hope to give.

He seems to really care about the outcomes of his clients. He takes the time to understand me and I feel really listened to. He calls me out when I try to shortcut the process and reminds that being present is part of the cure for anxiety and all that I'm going though. He's got a calm father presence.
