These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for James Groves. 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.
He's a wonderful therapist and has really helped my partner and I. We are no walk in the park! We are both strong personalities and it takes a strong individual to work with us and know how to address us individually and as a couple, which is so appreciated. He holds us accountable and (respectfully of course) calls us out when we need it. He's been able to reach my partner in ways I've never seen and I'm blown away by that. He's so relatable and down-to-earth which I find very helpful in a therapeutic setting. Highly recommend!!
