These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joan Flynn. 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.
With over 20 years of experience, Joan really understands what it takes to help her clients make changes in their life. I appreciate her kindness, understanding, and down to earth nature. I have seen real results in very little time, which was the most important thing for me when selecting a therapist. I tried about 10 different therapists before finding Joan, and they were all very nice, but I needed knowledge. I am looking forward to making even more positive changes in my life.
