Rate Gretchen Raring

Gretchen helped me find balance throughout a very dark time, in my personal growth. I really lucked out, finding her on BetterHelp!

I am still getting to know Gretchen; so far I like her and she is a great listener.

So far Gretchen has been great! I haven't been able to engage as much as I'd like due to my schedule. She's very understanding and has been a help with self reflection and things I've been working on.

She hears me out. Everything I have to say to express myself she’s just there to hear me out and guide me into things that will help me and to a better path. She’s great she’s a reason why I’m getting through in a good way on what I’m going though. She’s amazing

Gretchen has been an important support for me. Attentive, responsive and caring.

So far Gretchen has been very kind and supportive - I have only had 2 sessions but she has encouraged me to take classes which I have enjoyed a lot and find so helpful and educational! I feel just making the connection with Betterhelp has gotten me into a better place already. Love the tools, love the class instructors, lots of materials out there for everybody.

Gretchen is an awesome therapist..always listens and is very supportive ❤️

She was a great help

Gretchen is an amazing therapist that specializes is so many different things. She was my first therapist and introduced me into so many different things for my mental health journey. I highly recommend her for her experience and for overall being an amazing person.

So far, I have no complaints with my therapist. She is very understanding given the amount of information that I’ve dropped on in the first two sessions. She is very warming and welcoming as well.

Very empathetic, attentive, and knowledgeable. You're in good hands.

Gretchen Raring has worked with me a long time now. I feel very supported, and I am glad when she suggests new ways of working, such as the Journal tool, which after I fill it out, I share with her, and she always writes back. Things have changed a lot for me over the last couple of years, and Gretchen is always able to respond to whatever I have going on and help me get through it!

Working with Gretchen this past year put me on the path for maintenance rather than needed therapy for crisis mode. She helped me identify and develop the tools to manage my ocd, anxiety and keep from falling into depression. Thank you Gretchen!!

I feel very supported and comfortable during my sessions with Gretchen. She’s always go above and beyond and offering resources to help.

Gretchen is a very professional and caring therapist. Known her now for over 2 years. Not that needed that much time. But turned to her twice in that time for help

I have worked with Gretchen Raring for more than a year now. I find that she is very responsive and in-tune with whatever is happening in my life. I had a recent experience that scared and upset me, and she dialogued with me immediately through the site, it was all resolved by the time we met the next day. It is great to know that I have someone who knows my story, and will be there for me when I need them.

Gretchen is the absolute best! She is caring, kind, thoughtful & always willing to help! I can’t recommend Gretchen enough for others. She’s a wonderful person to have in your life! :)

Gretchen is an amazing therapist. Intuitive, thoughtful and caring. Our weekly sessions have helped me move forward.

She is the first therapist I actually stuck with. I have had bad experiences with other therapists on here but she is awesome. You can count on her to get back to you quickly by messaging and she's right on time for sessions. She's very empathetic and knowledgeable when it comes to trauma therapy. She is not a short term therapist that will leave you in the middle of your therapeutic journey. I definitely would recommend her to anyone needing therapy.

Gretchen is awesome. She is knowlegeable, compassionate, and is in tune to my needs. Highly reccommend!

I worked with Gretchen briefly. She responded to messages timely and shared articles that addressed my panic attacks. It helped me manage my panic attacks effectively. She listened carefully and were very empathetic during our live sessions. I appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to others.

I like how she makes me feel comfortable, helps me be more open and expressive about my thoughts. Thank you Gretchen!

I really enjoyed working with Gretchen. She takes the time to under her clients’ experiences through their perspective. She is very easy to talk to and does a wonderful job creating a comfortable therapeutic environment. Highly recommend!

Gretchen is great! She is very empathetic and down to earth. I always look forward to my sessions with her.

Gretchen helped me find the words to talk to my husband when I didn’t know how to express how I was feeling. With her guidance and suggestions I was able to get conversations going with him that I hadn’t had in 15 years together. She is easy to talk to and feels like a friend. I enjoyed getting to know her!

I love getting to know Gretchen and I feel like when we talk and connect, it feels like I’m talking to a friend. I have such a hard time opening up since I deal with anxiety but it’s so easy when it comes to talking to Gretchen ❤️

I re-entered therapy shortly upon having an OCD relapse after my father passed away. Throughout my sessions with Ms. Raring, we were able to identify sources of anxiety, childhood trauma and the appropriate CBT I needed to do to begin to work through these issues. While there is still a lot of work to be done, Ms. Raring has assisted me in identifying the areas I would get “stuck” in and provided helpful resources along with direction for me to develop healthy coping skills that I’m beginning to use regularly with success. She is persistent when necessary without pushing you too far and can help redirect or change direction(s) as needed. I had very low expectations after a negative initial pairing with a different therapist. I selected Ms. Raring myself and she has changed my outlook and raised my expectations that I can do this and manage myself in a healthy manner. My anxiety and ruminating has decreased to the point that I do not require daily medication; only as needed. My family and friends have noticed the changes too! She is friendly and open to your process; whatever that may be. Also is always punctual and follows through. I highly recommend her as a therapist if you are struggling with where to start, OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma healing, etc. I can be a difficult individual and she was able to help me (continues to help me each week).

Ms. Raring continues to assist me with making progress towards building healthy coping skills and parceling out how to process grief, trauma and combat my anxiety and OCD. I no longer waste time on things I can’t fix and avoid spending time at a standstill. Redirection is my new best friend and Ms. Raring taught me how!

Gretchen is fantastic! She is a great listener and is incredibly supportive!

There is no simple way to explain how instrumental a part Gretchen has played during the last year. She has helped me refocus on myself and f cf support system. I started better help on a whim, with no expectations, and originally paired with another therapist. I switched to Gretchen within a week and have been meeting with her since mid-April weekly. She

Always great talking to you

Since the first message, talking to Gretchen has felt like talking to a close friend. Her welcoming demeanor over both text and video has made all the difference in how I feel going into a session. Be it rambling on about how my week went, or delving into deeply rooted personal hurdles, she always not only made me feel heard in the moment, but also gave amazing professional insight where I needed it. You can feel how much she cares about and is genuinely interested in your thoughts and day-to-day life. She is also very flexible with her counseling styles and schedule. Gretchen is always prompt to respond, and also checks up on you during the week. She is undeniably the best therapist I have ever had. Thank you so much Gretchen!! You are amazing!
