These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Esther "Opal" Koehler. 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.
Opal is very helpful and accomodating with me. She listens to me, and helps me to take deeper looks at things I'm feeling or thinking about. She challenges me to see things for how they might be, often something I didn't even consider. I feel as though she genuinely cares about my progress, and this is more than just a job for her. I feel like she has a personal investment in my therapy, in my working on myself. I can't say anything negative about her. Thank you, Opal!

Opal is amazing and has helped me see things I couldn’t at the time and in the moment. I feel like I am heard, cared about, and understood with her!
