These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Gerard. 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.

Stephanie has been an amazingly support resource while I learned how to care for myself. I look forward to talking to her weekly and so glad I was matched with her.

Stephanie is great to work with. I have had many counselors in my lifetime and I can say that Stephanie listens and understands really well. She knows when to interrupt and when to just listen. I found our interaction to be positive and helpful and wouldn't hesitate working with her again.

Stephanie has helped me so much in the past few months. I am discovering new ways of looking at things and managing stress, past issues and a disorganized nervous system. She's kind and also points out things I need to see. She has an impressive background which has helped me with many of my own issues as well as dealing with family. I will forever credit her with helping me to finally understand and implement good boundaries! I also enjoy her weekly blasts and some of the worksheets she has provided. One of the best I have worked with!
