These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Heather Grinar. 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 was afraid of matching with a therapist that doesn’t understand me and would make things worse. I’ve had such a good experience with Heather that I regret not starting sooner.

Heather is the best listener I could ask for! She taught me about real tools and strategies to deal with anxiety, nightmares, and navigating relationships (personal and professional). She always made me feel heard and never belittled the concerns and stories I brought. I really felt like the solutions and tools were tailored to me and what resonated with me, not just generic, one-size-fits-all solutions.
