Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Frances Berniger. 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 feel like I’m so scatterbrained with so much going on. But Frances can draw it all up in a bow with helpful worksheets and techniques. Frances is very understanding, and she has chosen the correct profession!

I cannot say enough about Frances. She is so intuitive, kind, responsive and a superb listener. She blows me away at every session with helping me towards important revelations. I am so lucky to have her and Betterhelp.
