I have had the privilege of working with Beverly for about a year now and the growth she has helped me with in my life is nothing less than incredible.
I've had therapists in the past, but none that I felt like really understood me, my challenges, my trauma, and how to overcome everything I've gone through.
In working with Beverly, she's genuinely helped me become the person I've always known myself to be and has helped me work through (and continue to work through) my past trauma, manage my CPTSD, and be able to live a more fulfilling life. I'm so grateful to have been connected with her through BetterHelp!

Beverly has been very instrumental to my growth. She has been an incredible guide, helping me see things that I may have missed but also truly empowering me to locate things for myself. She has allowed me to see that I am not a victim of my mind and given resources to help. She has so much knowledge and I continue to learn more about myself daily through her guidance.

Bev is by far the BEST therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She has always accepted where I was in the process, and has had the right words at the right time consistently. Her gentle encouragement, and unyielding faith in me allowed me to move past self acceptance, to a place where I love, like, and RESPECT myself… I never thought I would get here, and stay here. Her knowledge and life experience allow her a depth of understanding and kindness like I have never seen before. We were able to work through things I had been stuck on for over a decade. With her help, I changed my whole life, and I’m back in school pursuing a career that I’m passionate about, I’m no longer reliant on anxiety medication, and am firmly on my “upward spiral”. The betterhelp platform has allowed me to stay on track, and not miss an appointment when life gets overwhelming. I can not say too many good things about Beverly, or about betterhelp!

Beverly is an absolute pleasure to work with she has so many great options and solutions whether it just be something you need to work on personally or with in your relationship. I come out of every session learning something and having a new skill I can use to better myself and my relationship. She’s also very easy to talk to and never makes you feel uncomfortable about any topics. I couldn’t ask for a better counselor.

I have seen Beverly G. on and off again through the last year and she is absolutely amazing! She always makes me feel heard but also let’s me know I feel heard while giving me feedback but not in a negative way. Sometimes I don’t understand why I feel or do the things I do and she is always there to help and make me feel like I’m talking with a friend!

Speaking with Beverly has been enormously helpful to me. I signed up with FaithfulCounseling because I knew I needed to process some things and I wanted someone with a strong faith background that I could trust to guide me in the right direction. We’ve talked about the things that have been stressing me out and causing difficulties in my life and Beverly even helped me process some things that had been so ingrained in my life that I didn’t realize they were root issues. Talking about these things made me think to and of myself more kindly which has helped me process things in a healthier way. I’m feeling more confident about dealing with life difficulties because of my time speaking with Beverly.

I love the BetterHelp app because it allowed me to put in the specifics of what I was looking for in a therapist as well as what I needed from my therapist. Beverly was the first profile I reviewed and it matched perfectly. She has helped me get through short term concerns as well as long-term problems even when I didn’t have counseling sessions because she gave me so much knowledge I was able to continue practicing the skills that she had taught me when I was not able to have sessions on a regular basis. I’m excited to begin regular sessions again and I’m happy that she is available for me.
