These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Gina Coffaro. 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 our first session, Dr. Gina immediately knew what I needed to heal and allowed me the time to cry and rest while simultaneously finding ways to get me past my traumas. She was very patient and encouraged me to enjoy being in the present and to always be thankful.
She talks to me like a girlfriend who is just there to listen, which is all anyone ever really wants.

I have had a few therapist over the years but Dr.Gina is one of the few that I believe actually cares. And that in itself was very helpful in moving forward. She is incredibly consistent and encouraging and I'm grateful to have had the conversations to help transition into a more positive direction and narrative with myself and my life. Thank you!

She is the best I’ve had hands down. Dr. Gina has a lot of knowledge and really opens the floor to allow me to speak what on my mind without judgement or making me feel any less of any decision I have made. I’m looking forward to unpacking my baggage with her.
