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

Norma is the sweetest and most welcoming therapist I have come across. With the few sessions I’ve had with her it truly does seem like she cares and checks in on me every few days of the week. She is also playful and funny which I like. I would definitely recommend her if you want a therapist that feels like they care and makes you feel comfortable.

Norma is very calming and understanding. As a first timer she has made this process very easy for me. The fact that she checks on me during the week is extremely helpful and I appreciate that extra level of communication she is able to offer.
