These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ruth Gordon. 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 have actively been in therapy for seven months. I honestly believe the consistency is because of the therapist I’ve been paired with. My life has improved so much in less than a year. Therapy has been that extended hand of help when I needed it most.
When you show up transparent and vulnerable, your therapist has a clear canvas to work with. I’ve done that, and the picture of who I today is colorful and beautiful. My confidence is felt and I feel free.
I will continue therapy with Ruth Gordon as I continue to build the life I deserve. Therapy was necessary for the broken stages and now, during the building stage. As a woman, in the middle stages of life, I, too, have to figure out who I am.
I’m pro therapy and it is hands down, one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made, invested in and did for myself!

Ruth is amazing, words can't even begin to express how amazing she is. My wife even loves her, I tell my wife about what Ruth and me talk about and my.wife smiles and says good, I'm glad you'll listen to her. Ruth challenges me like nobody else ever has in the best way possible. She'll push me on difficult subjects but is there to help and support helping you grow. If she ever retires, I'm done with therapy, she is that amazing and nobody can ever be as great as she is.

Ruth is so wonderful! She understands me, offers helpful advice, and helps me work through the challenges I’m facing. I leave each of our calls feeling better and more calm than I did before. She is always in my corner and I know I can count on her! I would recommend Ruth to anyone.

Ruth is consistently there, warm and pleasant, and validates my concerns as well as my emotions. She is easy to talk to and I do tend to feel better after our chats. She pays attention, listens, and I feel comfortable in addressing all I am going through with her.
