These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. April Mitchell. 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.
Thanks to better help I'm moving in the right direction to becoming the best version of sell. Not sure about other therapist here but Dr. Mitchell is very help for me..
