The following testimonials are some that were recorded through my association with BetterHelp. I wish to share some with you to help give you an idea of how I might assist you at improving your life! (to see the complete list and other important information, see my BetterHelp profile)

• “Gary has been helping me to reset my perception of myself. It's challenging to follow his advice, but the rewards are there. He is the first therapist I've had that I feel truly helped by.”

• “Gary has been very helpful to me. He not only listens to what I really have to say, but he also makes me dig deep and encourages a lot of soul searching. I would recommend him to anyone.”

• “I absolutely love Gary and how kind-hearted and insightful he is! He challenges me in a gentle way. I’ve had many many therapists, and he’s one that I’ve stuck with the longest. That says a lot!”

• “Working with Gary was initially anxiety inducing. I had never done therapy before. I didn’t know what to expect, but Gary put a lot of my fears and worries to rest really early.
  I know he’s invested in my healing. I know he cares about my progress, my struggles. I don’t know where I’d be right now without him, but he’s helped me come up with strategies and steps to work on overcoming anxiety and negative self talk, and recovering my self esteem.
  I’m endlessly glad I ended up with him as a therapist. He’s understanding, and kind, and funny. I couldn’t think of a better person to help me rediscover how good it feels to be me.”

• “Amongst his many passions, it is obvious that counseling is more than a job for Gary, but vocation to honor the worth and potential of people of every walks of life. I like that he is kind, competent and easy to relate to, without having to sugar coat things nor abusing of the therapeutic uppercut! Even when he helps me realize those things that are harder to accept, he does so lovingly. My willingness to expose my vulnerability and what I might later come to name as unhelpful beliefs about myself and other people is always rewarded by Gary's frank support. Thank You!”

• “Gary is empathetic, understanding and analytical. His advice is sound and rooted in the practical. He has a keen ability to hone in on a problem and cheerfully empower the client to work it out. You feel as if Gary is on your team and rooting for you. He is approachable, affable and patient. All around good guy and solid professional!”

• “So far Gary Nelson has been extremely helpful in my goal to beat or just get rid of anxiety. He has opened my eyes and mind to new ways of thinking about different situations and different ways to go about them and to think about them which has reduced a lot of my anxiety. It's going to take me a long time and a lot of practice to be ultimately a master of controlling my thoughts and my fears but right now I feel like I'm on a very good track to reach my goal which is to be anxiety free to the most that any human person can be.”

• “I have been working with Gary for a couple years now, and I have never met a greater person than him! He has helped me work through many issues in my life, and has helped me become a stronger person, and to stick up for myself. He encouraged me to do better for myself, and helps me find the strength to keep going on through hard times/situations. I thank God every day for Gary's wisdom, caring and help. He is truly God-sent!!”

• “I love his feedback. He doesn't just listen and do the typical counseling comments like...."how did that make u feel"; or "tell me more about that". He actually gave me advice. He gave me feedback that I could apply to my life. He truly has become my life coach. I look forward to my messages from him everyday. I've been in a very dark place for a very long time. Gary has thrown a rope down to me in this deep dark hole I'm in.”

• “He has been essential in my healing and my sobriety.”

• “Gary has helped me change my life in the few months he has worked with me. He has kept me accountable for my emotions and actions. He has opened my mind up to so many things that I have endured and suffered and he made me feel safe to work on my issues from the root cause to who I am today.
  I feel like I have a safe person who is on my team. He is honest with me and he is caring. I connected with Gary instantly and I owe him so much. He says I did the work but Gary gave me the tools to transform.
  I am happier, healthier and I am not in pain anymore. Each day is a new beginning. Some days may be difficult and some days may be great but he is there for me through the good and the bad.
  At my worst and most desperate he was there for a phone call and his words and his logic put my situation into perspective. I was a very broken woman when I came to BetterHelp and to Gary and today I am positive and I am in a much better place. The comfort of not going to sit on some couch in front of some person has been a godsend because I know I can send him a message and I know that he will respond and guide me.”

• “Does great job. I needed help dealing with career stress. He is helping me think about managing work flow, organization, even sleep habits to lower my overall stress. Had never worked with a counselor before and not what I expected, but what I needed.”

• “Great person! Great counselor. Checks in often, and is super empathetic. Easy to talk to. Great with LGBTQ issues.”
