These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary "Christine" Lawson. 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 been in therapy for over 6 months and I truly believe I would not have made it thru this period alive had it not been for my therapist, Christine. I know this sounds very dramatic, but it's the absolute truth. I have never been thru the kind of relentless, destructive stress like this before and my meds didn't come close to giving me a lifeline. Christine helped me build my own lifeline and kept me wanting to cling to it, even when I didn't always feel the motivation myself every day. She was at the top of my Thankful List this Thanksgiving for so many reasons. I couldn't have picked a better mental safety net if I tried. She doesn't do the work for me, but her care and genuine belief in my abilities gets me over the formerly insurmountable barriers I experienced that kept me defeated. Having someone truly see and accept you for who you are is amazing. It's life changing, what you can accomplish from that kind of foundation. Thank you, Christine. So much joy and gratitude for being with me on this journey!

Christine has been such a blessing to me. She is professional, but kind. She challenges me, but values and validates my perspective. As I continue to work with Christine I can feel deep wounds that I have buried or been too afraid to ever explore actively being healed inside my mind, body, and Spirit. I am so grateful for the support, time, and effort Christine pours into getting to know me and helping me grow in knowing myself better.
