These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nicole Shaddix-Olsen. 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 cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole. She is not only an incredible therapist but also a genuinely kind, compassionate, and insightful person. From the very first session, I felt truly heard and understood. She listens so intently, never making me feel rushed or dismissed, and her advice is always thoughtful, practical, and tailored to my needs.
What sets her apart is that she doesn’t just offer clinical guidance—she genuinely cares. Her empathy and warmth make it easy to open up, and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, more confident, and equipped with real strategies to navigate life’s challenges. She has a way of helping me see things from a new perspective while still validating my emotions, which has been life-changing.
I am so grateful to have found her, and I honestly look forward to every session. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly listens, understands, and supports you as both a client and a person, I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole. She is absolutely amazing!

I think her understanding of me goes deeper than just tackling one problem at a time, she sees everything as a whole and knows how to get me to the place I want to be at. She is patient and understanding with everything and always takes extra steps to understand what I am saying as well.

I have only been working with Nicole for a few weeks, but she has gone above and beyond what I ever expected! She has been thoughtful and supportive and has continued to encourage me daily. She seems to know when I need a response and when I just need to voice my thoughts. She has offered tools and resources that have been helpful and easy to use. I am grateful that I have found her.
