These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Carmen Gomez Abreu. 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.
Carmen has literally helped me save my marriage and family. I was out of options and things were not working. I’ve tried several other therapist offices before and it just wasn’t helpful. Carmen is truly the best therapist I’ve ever had. She listens but also challenges me and helps guide me to make decisions. I’ve always had therapists that listen to me, but I was at the point where I didn’t need validation anymore - I just needed honesty, guidance, and solutions. Carmen has exceeded my expectations for what I thought therapy could look like, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Carmen has been incredibly helpful to me. She understands and truly gets my situation, and I feel completely comfortable opening up to her without any fear. I recommend her 100%.

I’ve been meeting with Carmen for a shorter period of time and she has been extremely supportive and knowledgeable. She challenges me to step out of my comfort zone and learn healthier habits and routines that will help me in the long run.
