These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lynn Patterson. 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.
Lynn is a strong, capable therapist who is able to adjust her treatment style to what is most effective for my recovery. She is warm, empathetic, and a terrific listener, and redirects my concentration toward topics and thought patterns that serve my interpersonal growth. I love working with her and am astounded at the progress we have made, as well as the changes in my life that have resulted as a direct impact of our work together—it's been a steep learning curve, but a powerful trajectory of positive growth and healing from issues that I have not been able to adequately address with former therapists in the same way. Lynn's demeanor is understanding and gentle, and gives me assurance that I can make the requisite changes in my life to live out my dreams, and then some.
