These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sandra Gerardo. 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.
Sandra is a great and wonderful therapist. She listens to you and your problems and remembers them for later or at least writes them down. She is friendly and open.

I was matched with Sandra, and my first appointment I had to move. I messaged her before the appointment and she did not respond to me until the next day. I told her I was having trouble scheduling, she was very short and ignored every part of my message. I then messaged her again and she was very short then told me to go get another therapist. Not a good look for someone helping people with interpersonal issues. I have been recommended better help by my husband and another user and they stated they have not seen a therapist with that attitude. I hope I have a better experience with another therapist.
