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

He gives me the trust that he genuinely cares about me and my well being not just wanting to talk and listen about my problems but helps finds solutions and growth in self for me. He doesn’t work with you to just go through the motions but overcome challenges you face. I would recommend Mr.Vega to anyone looking to do better in themselves

Very kind and thoughtful when I have a problem or question he gives me different ways to help solve it and I really appreciate that and he’s an amazing listener

George is easy to talk to, and goes above and beyond to communicate with me both in and out of the sessions. He is a great listener, and helps me process my thoughts in a safe and healthy way. Highly recommend.

I enjoy the sessions.
The conversations could sometimes be a bit more lively.. but I also understand that it is not the therapists job to tell me what to do.. but rather help me find the way myself
