These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ivana Ross. 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 been counseled by Ivana for several months now and she's made a world of difference in my life. I feel safe to say however and whatever I'm feeling at any moment. She's incredibly kind, compassionate, and empathetic. I look forward to our sessions each week because she's so easy to talk to, even when this discussion itself isn't easy for me. I've learned so much about myself and have been able to heal numerous wounds through her guidance and wisdom.
