These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Estorious Smith-Hargrove. 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.
Excellent! So glad I signed up for this site and have her as my counselor!

A beautiful person inside and out. Gives amazing advice and does their best to give appropriate advice and isn't afraid to say "hey, you where reacted wrongly in this scenario". She isn't the stereotypical "mmhmm and how does that make you feel" kind of person. I truly respect and admire that.
