Despite personal experiences, we all yearn to feel heard, understood, and supported. It is my goal to provide a safe space where we can explore your current challenges, identify your beliefs and strengths, and to encourage you to live a meaningful life. It is my personal belief that our past experiences can have a significant impact on us, yet it is important to have a hope for the future and be able to embrace the present. Therapy provides a safe space for us to get to know ourselves better, gain insight and skills to live a life with purpose and intention.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gloria Santos. 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 always been a little hesitant to reach out to a counselor, even though I knew it was something that I really needed. I was even more hesitant to go the online route. Ms. Santos has completely erased any concern or hesitancy that I night have had. She's been absolutely wonderful and absolutely helpful and available. I only wish that I would have started sooner.
