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.
She is a delight to work with. Very patient, kind and understanding. It feels good to know I have someone reliable to speak with and reassures me the importance of everything we are working through. I have a lot to unpack still, but I’m always looking forward to our next sessions :)

Dr. New-Edson’s knowledge and past experience give her the unique ability to support my needs and circumstances. She has been a blessing during the most difficult time in my life. I am learning. She shares useful information without being pushy and gives me the space to process challenging situations. She is a talented, intelligent, and genuine person. I’m grateful to have her perspective and her help.

Dr. New-Edson always recaps and communicates with me even outside of our appointments to make sure we have all the pieces and also to reflect on some of the things we talked about. I find her compassionate, eloquent, and very knowledgeable and resourceful. I’m glad I found her.

Truly one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever spoken with, understanding yet critical in the best of ways. Highly recommend :)

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!
