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.
George is it one of a kind therapist. He has fundamentally changed my entire life, and this has positively impacted the way I show up as a future husband, proud son and ultimately better man!
He has the perfect balance between challenging you in the moment to reflect differently on your perceptions and how you’re viewing the world and the situation at hand while at the same time doing it in a way with the utmost empathy. Where, even if the conversation with the challenge is difficult, you get that deeper inner feeling that he genuinely cares so much about you and has your best interest at heart so it puts me in a relaxed state versus a heightened threatened state where I can truly receive all of the insight and wisdom he has to offer and turn that into a catalyst for change behavior!
My relationship with my future wife is the best that it has ever been. I have uncovered things and resolved things from my childhood that I never thought would be possible. All aspects of my life are better as a result of talking with George. I would not be where I am today without him and his care for me so if you’re thinking about going to therapy and wondering who to choose as a therapist, I would highly recommend George Vega as he has not only helped me with my past traumas in getting into a place of peace, but he has made me a better man as a result of the insight that I’ve gained through our conversations and it helps that he has amazing analogies to help you understand complex concepts ;) Cheers!! Thank you George!! :)

George is awesome, he puts words to feelings and ideas I’m just not able to articulate. He’s incredibly intelligent and thoughtful, and gives you new ways of examining your feelings. He’s not scared to address difficult and intimate issues, and he does so in a way that does not make you feel embarrassed or ashamed. Highly recommend.

I really was always extremely skeptical about virtual therapy, i was trying it off the recommendation of my boss. When I signed up I was matched with George. I was very anxious to meet yet another therapist after many failed attempts to find one that I vibed with. But George has been nothing but patient and kind to me. He lets me have my space and say what I have to say, and doesn’t make me feel judged or rushed about what I’m feeling or trying to work through. But also isn’t afraid to give his professional opinion in a polite and respectful manner. He’s insightful and does a good job keeping in touch with me if I need a question answered, or if I’m having a bad day and need to vent, or even if I miss a session or go MIA for a bit he checks up on me to make sure I’m okay. He really has been the best therapist I have had since I started going to therapy. Thank you George!

George is very respectful and attentive when listening to your story. He helps invoke thoughtful conversation into the root cause of my mental injuries in a structured way while remaining cognizant of the pace of my healing journey. I am a young Asian American in my late 20s unpacking many different repressed trauma cases and was initially wary of seeing a therapist that would not understand my culture, but George manages to be respectful of what he doesn’t know while still providing a guiding hand in navigating my mental injuries. I would recommend George to anyone.

George is a wonderful professional and I was grateful to work with him. It was only after several months of therapy that I realized George was a wheelchair user. When you realize the person you are talking to has overcome so much in their own life, it further deepens and highlights the advice they give, to say the least. I admire George's humility and empathy, and his many years of expertise.
