These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Angelica Andrade. 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.
Angelica is empathetic and sympathetic but not patronizing. She listens with intent and with genuine care. She won’t tel you what you want to hear, but what you NEED to hear. Direct yet gentle, she has helped me through one of the most trying times of my life.

I’ve only had two sessions with Angelica, and she has been so much help already. From the start, I knew she was going to be great help for me. Going to miss her so much!

Angelica is amazing. She is very intuitive and knows how to ask exactly the right questions to get you thinking. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting an open, honest, direct counselor with a fantastic sense of humor.
