These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Elliott Skaggs. 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.
I am grateful that Elliot wound up being my therapist on BetterHelp. He has excellent knowledge about some of the things I struggle with, and encourages me to think about my problems and the solutions that come with them. He also knows that sometimes I just need someone to listen, and sometimes I need guidance. I appreciate him, and the help he has given me so far.

Elliott brings a comfortable, safe, judgement-free space to clients, couldn’t ask for a better therapist to help with such a variety of topics than Elliott. Highly recommended!
