These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Derylene Proctor. 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.
Derylene is a very educated and compassionate woman. She is pragmatic and honest. We close our sessions in prayer which has been very impactful for me, Derylene has been an incredible blessing for me as a woman in her 20s going through heart break, career changes and different traumas.

This was my first experience with any sort of mental health therapy. (46yrs old - male). I have made rapid progress and enjoyed the process from the moment I started. Derylene offers no mind tricks or round-about tactics. She is able to hit the nail on the head and speak the truth in a way that resonates with me. I feel stronger and much more peaceful as a dad, a partner and a businessman as a result of my work with Derylene. I strongly recommend her as a mental health professional for those who are ready to do the work, be honest with yourself and show up for what she prescribes.
