These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bianca Cornelius. 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.
Bianca is always extremely mindful of my needs and concerns. Every time we have a session, I feel like my voice is prioritized and she listens incredibly respectfully. I never feel judged or shamed and she gives me questions that help me understand myself better.

Bianca is the first therapist I’ve been to. She listens really well and her expertise has helped me get to a better place than I was when I first started.

I've only "met" with Bianca once so far, however I felt a new sense of hope after talking with her. She knew I needed "work / assignments" to feel like I am working towards a goal and has provided me with such. She circled back on items I had mentioned and I truly feel like she listened and understood my chaos.
