These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Janet Wise. 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.
In the months I have been meeting with Janet Wise, she has helped me grow and develop faster and further than I ever thought possible. I always feel seen and heard, and she helps call me out on my habits of self sabotaging beliefs and words and teaches me to transform that into positive energy. She pushes me to reach beyond my comfort level while still providing a sense of safety. Her approach is enhanced by her incredible intelligence, strength and kindness. I feel so fortunate to have linked with Janet, and I will always be able to return to the many things I have learned with and through her.

Written on Aug 22, 2023 after therapy with Janet for 1 year and 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and adhd
Janet was so instrumental in helping me this last 6 months. Without her help I don’t think I would have been able to move from a survivor to a thriver and definitely not in the time frame that I have. Janet helped me to see the truth about myself and showed me a path forward that I had never thought possible.
I will forever be grateful and recommend her as well as better help to anyone struggling through the same issues I have.
Written on Jan 17, 2023 after therapy with Janet for 2 months on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and bipolar disorder
Janet has been beyond helpful in my journey to wellness and healing. I am forever grateful to her for her insight, wisdom and for all that she has helped to guide me through in a season of confusion, discomfort and brokenness. I would highly recommend her as a therapist and although I have been able to reach my therapy goals with her, should I need to come back to therapy- this is the woman I’ll be seeing.
