Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Emelda Phillip. 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.

Dr Phillip pays attention to what you are saying and reads between the lines. What was a strongpoint for me was that she wasn’t afraid to pin point an issue or address something I was clearly overlooking. I would recommend Dr. Phillip!
