These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Banan Said. 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.
After such a short time she has made feel understood and extremely comfortable to tell her everything! I highly recommend Banan to anyone who is thinking of starting therapy.
Written on Feb 16, 2024 after therapy with Banan for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, and compassion fatigue
