These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Erica Smith. 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.
A lot of techniques she told help me greatly calm down my anxiety. A lot of progress in only three short weeks I can't say it works for everybody but for me It's helping greatly. Patient understanding, willing to challenge me, transparent and give me a different perspective than I'm used to.

I enjoy working with Erica. She is respectful and kind and challenges me to be more and do more. I am calm and relaxed after talking with her. I get excited to go to sessions each week and it doesn't feel like an obligation or "something " to check off my to do list.
