These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Richard Harig. 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.
He's so clearly an expert in this field and I'm so grateful to have his insights to try to better learn/unlearn habits, patterns, etc. He comes across as an authentic person, plus one who cares. I appreciate working with him and he's been helpful in working through some major things I've been navigating, some for a very long time, and some current. Helps to have an expert on your side and it's been helpful to start learning to not get in my own way as much. Have to be willing to learn/unlearn and do the work to make progress, and it's nice to have company and empathetic guidance along the way so it feels even just a little bit less overwhelming, as life can sometimes be.

At 47 years old, with many experiences in therapy, and after the loss of my marriage, business, faith, career and father in 24 months, Dr. Harig helped me understand what I was dealing with more clearly than I remember any therapist doing in the past.
As a direct and somewhat aggressive man I was able to connect with Dr. Harig in our first session, which is difficult for me sometimes.
I’m pausing therapy for financial reasons only and when I come back I hope to pick back up with Dr. Harig.

Dr. Harig is a kind and understanding therapist. His experience and skill in helping me identify and work through my thoughts and experiences that hold me back from being my best self are amazing. I have appreciated Dr. Harig's sessions.

Dr Harig created a space in which healing can happen and over the course of several months, I have experienced so much growth. At 48 years old, I wasn't sure what therapy could really do for me but Dr Harig has been amazing and I'm so grateful to have found him on BetterHelp.

Dr. Harig is very responsive and connects easily. He approaches issues with a very open and welcoming demeanor. He works really well with those on a tight schedule. As someone in medicine with an ever changing schedule, I have never felt like he was unreachable. Would highly recommend. He helped me through a very tough time.

Making the initial call to get started and talk was the hardest/biggest first step, but within minutes of that first call I felt at ease with Dr. Harig.

In the short time I’ve been talking to him I have layed out a mess for him for sure. Starting to explain everything is a lot especially my situations. So I have not beeen with him long enough to know how he feels about it , but so far he’s gentle and kind and makes sense to me. And I’m thankful for him.

Dr. Harig is very caring and really listens to me. I don't have "standard" discussions with him. He tries very hard to help me talk through my issues and concerns to get to the root of my difficulties. I have tried many therapists but, I really feel like I have connected with Dr. Harig. He truly understands my military background, therefor, he truly understands me and my complexities. I highly recommend Dr. Harig as a therapist.

I was looking for a diagnosis of bipolar, and instead discovered God in the process. I'm learning to let go, to forgive myself for the way I've treated others.
