These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dustin Gantos. 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.
It’s only going to be my 4th or 5th session with Dustin but I am so happy I took the decision to start this. Dustin is incredibly helpful. I never feel judged and I feel like I could share anything with him. He always suggests ways to keep working on myself outside of our sessions. He also is very flexible and ready to accommodate.
