These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jacob Heffernan. 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 haven’t found a therapist that was a good fit for me for years. Jacob is wonderful and just the right fit for me if you’re a high-performing business person. Ex athlete he really understands the struggles and difficulties being the dude in charge.
