These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Paul Dempsey. 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.
Paul has been a huge help for me, and I can’t thank him enough. From the start, it’s been clear how much he cares about what he does and the people he works with. He listens, asks the right questions, and really helps me think through things in a way that feels natural.
What I like most about Paul is how he makes it easy to open up. It never feels like he’s just doing a job—it feels like he’s really there for me. He’s helped me figure out how to handle a lot of challenges, and I always leave our sessions feeling better and more focused.
If someone higher up sees this, I just want to say you’ve got a great person in Paul. He’s made a big difference for me, and I’m sure he’s doing the same for others too.

Great Therapist to work with with any mental health concerns. I would recommend Paul because he helps you in the best ways he can and provides worksheets to you that are found to be very helpful.
