Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Norma Deering. 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 have been in therapy a lot, and Norma is the first to check in with me every few days to see how I’m doing. I’ve never had a therapist that would do that before, and I really wish they would have. We are still just getting started in our therapy but I do feel better talking to Norma. I don’t feel embarrassed talking about the hard stuff and I don’t feel ashamed talking about who I am or that I have to hide my identity to meet a requirement. It’s refreshing talking to Norma, and I look forward to future conversations.
