These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Hadass Harel. 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.
After years of dealing with many therapists I have finally found the one who understands me, hears me, listens to me, and truly understands me! The advice Dr. Harel gives is so helpful and I am finally learning to heal and grow. I recommend Dr. Harel to anyone fighting to find their way to inner peace and self love. She will help you find your way back!
