These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Andrea Shirley. 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.
The most understanding person I’ve had the joy of talking to.
