These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Deonia Young. 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.
Organized and professional, with a wide skill set. Easy to talk to, easy to understand the advice. I found hope and encouragement through my 1st session.
