These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Phillip Gardner. 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.
Phillip was fantastic. We only had one meeting but truthfully that was all that i needed. With just one meeting he was able to show me how i can better myself and gave ideas that i am still using today.

Phil is very easy to talk to. I feel supported and understood, not judged, when we communicate. He is patient with me and I’ve learned a lot from him so far that has helped me. I attribute me sticking with the program for this long to his encouraging and motivational kind of therapy. Overall I’m very happy with the quality of care he provides.
