I’ve been working with Javier for 10 months now. He has helped me to see patterns that I haven’t noticed before and to process my pain after a major breakup. In our sessions I felt that he listened, gave me space to show up and I was and celebrated my progress. I greatly appreciate his insight and care and I am grateful for the impact Javier has had on my life.

He's great, very well prepared and organized, not judgy at all, he listens and gives me time to process what I'm feeling as I'm talking, I have realized more about myself in a couple of sessions with Javier than in a lifetime trying other ways.

Javier es increíble. Al principio tenía mis dudas de probar Betterhelp, pero me siento gratamente sorprendida. La aplicación es súper sencilla de usar, tiene muchas herramientas con las que te puedes comunicar con tu terapeuta y obtener respuesta casi inmediatamente. Por otro lado, estoy muy feliz que me hayan asignado a Javier como mi terapeuta, siempre está atento y a la escucha, incluso con cosas que yo siento que no son tan importantes, él las recuerda y retoma 4 o 5 sesiones después cuando yo menciono nuevamente el tema. Gracias Javier, infinitas gracias por estar ahí.
