These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ernestine Tennefos. 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.

Until Ernie, I always felt a slight disconnect with therapists. Ernie listens, takes notes and is engaged during sessions. She doesn’t just leave it to sessions, she checks in during the week and puts something specific to that week in her message. Would for sure 10 out of 10 recommend her.

Ernestine makes me feel very comfortable with opening up and makes me feel heard and seen instead of embarrassed.
