These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jennifer Lapidario-Ruiz. 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.
Jennifer is a truly experienced therapist. I’ve been suffering from burnout, anxiety, and depression in a way that made my viewpoint very linear. She’s helped me unravel my limiting beliefs in a patient, kind, and pragmatic way. Before therapy I’d been feeling like I was tired of people and that everyone was a little dull minded. But now I feel there’s hope that finding the type of people to match your energy is just as important as reframing your mindset. You have to be open to asking yourself the hard questions and doing the work, but I couldn’t have done it without Jennifer’s help.
