These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Heather Thorson. 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 only been able to meet with Heather a couple times because of my schedule but she always leaves me feeling guided and less overwhelmed. She listens and helps me get to the bottom of my feelings. I really appreciate her and hope to meet with her again soon
