Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Merial Berry. 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.
Since I meet Merial for therapy, she creates a safe and soothing environment. Her ability to be an active listener allows me the opportunity to process my emotions. The tone in her voice is never condescending or demeaning. Through therapy with Merial, I want to gain an awareness of healing through my grief. I want to gain an understanding of how to be whole and not broken. Life is to short to be holding on to pain.
I have faith in Merial to walk this journey with me.

Merial has been helpful to me in talking through issues I am struggling with as well as being a good listener and non-judgmental 3rd party.

Merial listens and was extremely helpful in helping to reflect and identify things I was unable to identify before our sessions.

Mrs Berry listens to understand. She reads my journal entries then responds which makes our sessions smooth and progressive in a since that I don’t have to catch her up on my life. I recommend Mrs. Merial Berry to anyone.

The first therapist I was matched with, was not a good fit. Honestly, I wasn't all that surprised because I have not had particularly positive experiences with therapists in the past.
THEN I MET MERIAL.
So far, I have only met with her online three times, but she is already changing my life!
I am not exaggerating. I absolutely recommend her to anyone!!!
She is so kind and observant and casual and has a way of offering insight that feels so refreshing!

Therapy is uncomfortable, but Merial is very good at pushing you to improve yourself and being kind and compassionate about the process
