These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Beard. 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.
Michelle has been amazing as we worked through a large variety of topics, while always maintaining and respecting my boundaries. As my first real therapist - she heard me and spent the time to see what I was looking for, even when I didn't know how to say it.
She has done an amazing job of listening, guiding, and helping me to work through issues - and I am happily going to continue working with her for the foreseeable future!

I was a little apprehensive to start therapy at first but Michelle has really held a safe space for me to talk through my emotions in a healthy way and has really listened to me. I’ve found our first few sessions really helpful and Michelle has really helped me make sense of a lot of the emotions and difficulties I have been experiencing. Michelle listens intensively and asks the important questions which help me on my healing journey. I’ve really been encouraged throughout this experience so far. Thank you Michelle
