These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Richard Navis. 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.
Mr. Navis is a solid clinician who definitely knows what he is doing. His attentiveness in session is nice, and his willingness to do deep dives on my concerns helps me feel validated and heard. I feel like Richard has my back, and at the same time, is willing to push me where I need to be pushed for my own personal growth. He has a great balance to his therapy style.

Richard clearly has deep experience in understanding trauma. He is helping me un-tangle a very long line of abuse. After every session, I feel like I can take another step forward.

I have complete confidence in Richard. I would recommend him to anyone. He listens to my concerns and offers offers advice when wanted or needed and offers up at times his own struggles which adds comfort that we all struggle at times…even therapists/counselors!

I have worked with Richard for a couple of months now. He is very supportive and has a lot of life experiences that he has used as evidence to support our goals. He listens and responds with affirmation and calls me out when my thoughts stray into the gray. He has been a pleasure to work with and my healing and growth, while not complete, would not have happened to the extent it did without him.
