These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Akilah Hoover. 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.
Akilah is giving me exactly what I need—honest, thoughtful, and practical therapy. She understands my concerns, helps me understand my feelings, and gives me useful tools to help me along my path.
