These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gayle Bradley-Starkes. 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’ve worked with Ms. Gayle for a couple of sessions now, and immediately I experienced benefits. Because we are so new in our journey together, I don’t have as robust a review to leave; however, I am confident that as time goes on my experience will continue to develop richly! I look forward to updating with a new review as we progress.
Written on Aug 29, 2024 after therapy with Gayle for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and bipolar disorder
