These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Alesha Caldwell. 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.

First session with Dr. Caldwell did alot for me. This is my first time in therapy and she listened but also challenged me and gave me alot to think about. She brought things to the surface that I probably suppressed and also let me know that I have some big decisions moving forward but I also have to heal myself.

Dr Caldwell is very compassionate and empathetic. She handled my feeling of grief with so much care. I was able to be vulnerable and open. Her advice was absolutely helpful and gave me a few step towards healing. Thank you
