These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Brenda Canales. 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.
Brenda is an amazing listener and understands my feelings. She asks questions that invoke critical thought and that lead me to understand more about myself and my feelings. She is not judgmental while still being able to step back and give a good understanding of the situation. Overall I have had an extremely positive experience. Truly grateful!

Easy to talk to. Understands modern problems. Never brings bias to the discussion.

Brenda takes the time to understand you and make you feel heard. I love that she is bilingual. Brenda is professional, but friendly at the same time.
