These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Claudia Santiago. 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.
She has been helpful in identifying a number of factors that have been most significant for my anxiety. She has also helped identify several underlying triggers and family dynamics, while being very personable and supportive. She is flexible with scheduling and understanding if you prefer video or phone. Good experience overall.

Claudia is truly a 5 star therapist & human being! From the jump she has been nothing but professional, kind, informative, and sincerely a force for good in my life. She has a talent for making difficult topics approachable, in a non judgemental environment, where healing and understanding happen seamlessly. I love that she provides practical tools & habits to incorporate outside of therapy and I leave each session with new insights into (and ways to heal from) the stresses in my life. 10/10 - I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Claudia if you're seeking therapy.
