These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Francisco Olmos. 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.
I’ve been working with Francisco for over a year now, and he is the perfect balance of listening, support and challenging my beliefs. He knows my patterns intimately and stress tests my limiting beliefs in ways that aren’t always comfortable, but are always helpful. He is professional, but i can’t help but to feel like i’m confiding in a childhood friend. Highly recommend.

After working with Francisco for over a year, I can honestly say he's made a meaningful difference in my life. From the very beginning, he created a space where I felt comfortable, heard, and never judged. His insight, patience, and genuine compassion have helped me work through challenges in ways I never thought possible.
He has a way of asking the right questions, helping me see things from new perspectives, and giving me practical tools that I can actually use in my everyday life. I've grown emotionally, gained confidence, and developed healthier ways of handling difficult situations because of the work we've done together.
If you're looking for a therapist who truly listens, cares about your progress, and is committed to helping you become the best version of yourself, I highly recommend him. I'm incredibly grateful for his guidance and support over the past year, and I can't thank him enough for the positive impact he's had on my life

He was exactly what we needed. We had been passed on by all of our church counselors because we’re crazy. Lol. He was tailored made for us, the dynamics and challenges we have. He really understands. My wife is a very tuff cookie but he has been able to get her to open up about her past. We both have been diagnosed with PTSD and pretty much every other acronym. Yet still! He is understanding, wise in when to push and when not to. It’s been amazing

Francisco is great. He is very supportive, and also gives me things to think about that I hadn't seen it considered before. I enjoy our sessions as they feel more like chatting with a friend who truly cares, and not so distant it worksheet driven.
I recommend him for anyone looking for a down to earth therapist who sees you as a person, and contributes in the session.

Francisco continues to prove himself to be a highly valuable and supportive therapist. He is deeply knowledgeable and able to draw from a range of perspectives. He appropriately pushes to "dig deep" and connect the life elements happening in real time to things from the past - the things that shape thinking and opinions. And, most helpfully, he pushes to help you review things from a range of perspectives that lead to new insights. Add to it that he's a genuinely thoughtful and "cool" guy - easy to talk to and connect with. I cannot recommend him enough.
