A year into therapy with Gretchen, and there really are not sufficient words to describe how she has changed my life. I feel more in control of my life, i have more confidence in myself. She is beyond understanding, flexible, has a great heart. So thankful that I got paired with her that day I registered for BetterHelp.

I struggled with therapy because I felt like I never had a strong connection with my therapist, Gretchen changed that. I felt very confident in getting my jumbled up thoughts out to her and she helped me navigate through, and what to make of them. It’s weird to say but I looked forward to our session each time and I felt great every time our session ended. I’m very grateful for her help and expertise!

I cannot recommend Gretchen highly enough. After some hesitation about returning to therapy, she has made the process incredibly smooth and a genuinely great experience. Gretchen is not only supportive but also skillful in guiding me through various challenges. Over the past few months, I have faced significant personal hardships, and having Gretchen by my side has been invaluable. Her support has truly helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, Gretchen, for your unwavering support and exceptional guidance.
