These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Desireah Riley. 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.
Better help and my therapist have been a game changer. Easy, accessible, and helpful.

Desireah always knows how to put things in perspective. She doesn’t judge me and I feel very comfortable opening up to her. I’ve made huge progress in my emotional and mental health from working with her. I can’t thank her enough because that growth is priceless. Highly recommend!

Desireah listens attentively and reminds me of the tools that i have in front of me and helps me understand how to navigate many circumstances in life. I would highly recommend her. Having a therapist that reminds us that we are indeed in power is wonderful.
