- “I have found Gary Ratliff to be very knowledgeable. He identifies areas where I am able to grow or work on in between sessions, is attentive, has a wide range of expertise, and is one of the best therapists with which I’ve worked. Unfortunately, not all therapy is the “right” therapy for an individual nor are all therapists “right” for each individual. To feel I’m supported and growing and learning helps me feel like I’m healing and moving forward. I’m grateful for the platform BetterHelp provides and for the ease of accessibility of resources.”
- “My rapport with Gary is good.”
