These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jacqueline Santoro. 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.
Dr. Santoro is amazing! She always ensures the counseling sessions are complete and recaps things to keep in mind that help me between sessions. Her empathy is wonderful and she has away of reframing things that is helping me through difficult times. Her experience is deep, which helps me to feel comfortable sharing my life experiences that led me to counseling.

Very helpful feedback that helps me reset my perception and improves my outlook on my life. I should have started this years ago.

I have been in therapy for a very long time. I can honestly & without hesitation say that Dr. Santoro is the best therapist I have ever had. Her style of communicating is exactly what I need to make progress. My favorite thing is when she explains and/or suggests the reason I'm feeling the way I do about something & why whatever it is may be happening. It not only helps me to really understand the reasons behind my thoughts, actions, etc., it also empowers me to move on as opposed to continuing to ruminate about whatever situation is causing me confusion and/or stress.
It goes without saying that Dr. Santoro listens, I mean really listens. She is direct which I love & need & she has taken me from crying & completely "stuck in my misery" to laughing more than once. Dr. Santoro is the Best!
