These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Arlene Garcia. 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.
I found Dr. Garcia's advice on how to manage my concerns/ anxiety very helpful. She is professional, empathetic, listens well and has a lot of experience.
