These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rachel Khan-McCroy. 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 feel really comfortable talking with Rachel. I had different therapists before, but I couldn’t be honest with them because I was ashamed of my thoughts and behavior. Today, I finally opened up about something that has been affecting me for many years, and it feels good to have shared it with someone after all this time. I believe Rachel has been very professional and responsible about showing up for our appointments. I appreciate that she pays attention to everything I mention, and it makes me feel that I am in good hands. I am really glad I found some help. Thank you for your help, Rachel!

Rachel is the package! Smart, kind, an excellent listener, experienced and makes me feel understood.
I like that she provides stimulating and contextually helpful insight vs therapy styles where it can feel like you are the only one talking.
She does a great job managing me (ADHD) relative to my objectives, while having an understanding of what will keep me on task and engaged. I love that she provides excellent resources if you’re someone like me and is wanting to binge on more of the why and how.
She’s demonstrated a depth of knowledge making me feel safe within my complex makeup - CPTSD, OCD, spectrum, panic disorder to name a few.
Her approach is caring and effective for me. I highly recommend if you’re wanting to get work done!
