These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Donald Macleod. 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 had a previous therapist through better help before Donald and I didn’t feel like there was a connection which almost made me quit better help therapy. However, I decided to give it one more shot and I chose Donald and I am so glad I did. Just after my first session alone I felt like he helped me so much. I also felt very comfortable talking to him and he continues to check in on me even during the weeks where I don’t have an appointment and that makes me feel like I finally found a therapist that cares and that is truly going to help me. Thank you Donald!

My wife and I would absolutely recommend Don Macleod as a marriage and family Counselor, Therapist, Mentor, etc. He was very attentive in hearing our concerns and deep struggles that we were having in our marriage and in our parenting. He was able to talk us through the lies that we were believing about ourselves, about each other, and about who we are as parents. He also was able to provide to us a particular skill set to work on which has continually helped us to deal with life as it comes. We are very thankful to him and what he has done for us in a seemingly short amount of time.

Very helpful. After first visit, I was already on the path to peace. I am looking foreward to continuing with him.

Donald has been key in my life. With him I have unlocked a lot of things that without his help I wouldn’t have tried to find out on my own. He’s literally the best! I am still learning so much about myself though our sessions.

Donald is a real blessing to me. He is very supportive and keeps a no-judgment zone, so you're very comfortable sharing with him. Most of all...he's been that trusted friend-in-my-head that can help me make sense of what I feel is my complicated world. But he's kind and sensitive enough so I can receive what he has to say. Some therapists or with too firm or too passive, and you end your session still unsure of yourself.
I'm so glad to have Donald on my self-care team!

There are not enough words in the vocabulary to define how amazing Don is; he is engaged, he has an awesome sense of humor and our sessions feel so productive and not at all pretentious. I truly enjoy my sessions with Don.

Anyone would be fortunate to have Don as their counselor. From the very beginning I felt safe to share things with him I'd never shared with anyone before. He's experienced and meets you where you're at in a way that invites you to grow.

Don has been a godsend. He’s exactly the therapist I needed. He doesn’t mince words and is very honest, while also making sure that I understand that he is there to help me in any way possible. He has a way of helping me acknowledge and accept things I haven’t been able to, while also being comforting and letting me know I’m not alone.
