These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Townsend. 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 been seeing Christine since November of 2023, meeting mostly on a weekly basis, holidays and schedules permitting. Our sessions typically involve open discussions, which have been incredibly beneficial for me. From our very first session, Christine was polite and seemed knowledgeable. Initially, I was quite scared, but she made me feel safe and comfortable, which was crucial in those early stages. We meet over video chat, which has been a convenient and effective format for our sessions. Despite the virtual setting, I have never felt any major issues with our communication or connection. Over time, I have seen significant improvements in my mental health and personal life. Christine has helped me feel more confident and knowledgeable, providing me with tools and resources to work on areas I wanted to improve. Her approach to my concerns is always respectful, and she is both empathetic and understanding. Christine is very easy to talk to. She listens well and always provides helpful feedback, making our conversations productive and supportive. Christine is consistently punctual and reliable. Boundaries have never been an issue, as she maintains a professional yet compassionate demeanor at all times. I truly value my time with Christine and am glad to have her as a fixture in my life. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a supportive and effective therapist, without hesitation. She has made a tremendous positive impact on my life, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance.
