These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sheila Gold. 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.
Only had one session so far but she zoomed in on all my concerns and gave me ideas and suggestions . She kept it real , she was kind but did not sugar-coat my issue. We were definitely a great match!
