These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Penelope "Penny" McBride. 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.
Penny has made a difference in my life. She has helped me to build confidence with reassurance and by giving me new tools to do that.
She has helped me have a different relationship with my anger issues. Not being a problem to solve as much as it is an energy to redirect.
She has helped me find ways to be a better person by listening and knowing how and when to tell me what I needed to hear.

Penny is my angel. Her experience handling my lowest of lows and conflicts show her expertise in this field. I feel heard, and I feel understood. She provides a safe space for me to be, understand, and heal. I can’t thank or recommend her enough.
