These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Esau Kinchen. 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.
This man has used his experience and expertise to help me a great deal in a short time, just like therapy is supposed to work, he also takes the time to know you and form that bond that helps get to the root of the issue and find a solution and if you listen and be honest about whats bothering and what brought you here to betterhelp you will not be disappointed. If you implement these solutions you will find positive change and thats the goal!

Esau is absolutely amazing. His professionalism and wisdom are extremely insightful and so easy to follow along and grasp. He challenges thinking and his approach is so inviting that it is easy to take in all the expertise he provides. He gives mottos and metaphors to bring a deeper understanding into what he is saying. He listens and remembers previous issues so you are not repeating things over and over but it is as if he can bring many issues into one source to approach. Esau inspires me after each call to not give up. Any and all issues I have brought up during our sessions, he has been able to give me a better angle and deeper understanding to what the actual issue is. He has been spot on every time, even when I was unaware of what the issue is. I highly suggest taking notes because during the call, homework may be given or even things you need to remember that will literally direct and guide your entire week until next session. He responds quickly to messages and does everything in an organized flow.
