These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Rebecca New-Edson. 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.
Truly one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever spoken with, understanding yet critical in the best of ways. Highly recommend :)

Dr. New-Edson balances professional relatability with her abundance of knowledge and experience. She is clear with me on her scope of work while meeting my needs/ preferences. I find she gives me space to verbally process without leading me to a specific thought/ place. Dr. New-Edson offers me different perspectives and challenging questions that allow me to consider new ideas. We were able to quickly establish trust, allowing me to dig deep into areas I am not comfortable discussing with most people. She has been an incredible support and resource with notably strong ethics. I am grateful to have found her through betterhelp .

I knew from my first session that Rebecca was going to be a great person to navigate the things I felt were important to address. She listens to understand, shares relevant information, challenges my thinking, and actively provides homework. This is the longest I’ve attended therapy and most confident I’ve been with progress yet!
