Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Al Balaa. 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.
I'm a middle aged man, and I was looking for a knowledgeable person with relatable life experience. Al Balaa was that person, and his advice put me on the right track. I anticipate checking back in with him in the future. Highly recommend!

Al is always supportive, thoughtful and respectful. I feel relaxed talking with him. I always leave with a smile, regardless of how I start our session.

I am still in therapy with Al Balaa but our first session has been the best and set the tone for our just together. I will successfully achieve my mental goals and plans with his guidance as my therapist.
Once I overcome the current reason I would like to have Al Balaa still in my life as my therapist, mentor and friend of sound voice. I am thankful for him. 10/10 100 times over!

I switched to Al Balaa during a time of personal immense turmoil and I came from a therapist who I really felt did not respect me. Al Balaa has validated my feelings and listened to me, empathized, and supported me. He is also very kind and knowledgeable. I feel very very lucky to have randomly matched with him, especially because out of all the therapists I've had over the years I really only liked a few. Thank you!
