These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Aquila Rives. 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.
To date, she has been responsive and interested in needs/goals. I believe we are still getting to know each other.
