These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Debra Sarno. 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.
Debra is an outstanding therapist in all the ways that count most: smart, supportive, and kind. She listens and offers suggestions that have guided me to a happier, calmer, healthier life. Debra Sarno is the best!
