These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Akila Bacon. 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.
Ms. Bacon has been a huge help in guiding and giving great recommendations of activities to help myself get back on track. Super grateful for the guidance she’s given me so far and I’m excited to grow with her aside!
