These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for James Hoy. 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.
James is a great listener and has an uncommon understanding of how many aspects of life come into play when negotiating difficult life decisions. Truly seems to care, want to learn about me, and remembers the details from session to session.

I have only had one session with him so far, but he is amazing to talk to. I feel like I can be myself with him and that he actually listens and respects what I have to say. He gives me great advice and sends me things that help me.

At first I was always afraid of therapy but one day I just went for it. First time talking with Mr.James Hoy I was really anxious, but he made the conversation so easy going and natural I was able to relax and continue my therapy with him. He has a lot of knowledge and he shows it with how well he does at helping me with my issues
