These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joddy Manuwai. 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.
Joddy isn’t the way I anticipated a therapist to be, and it’s in the most comforting way. She’s direct, ackowledges, and helps navigate my emotional processing in an adult direct way.

My therapist is great. At first, I was very nervous, but it got easier once I relaxed and got more comfortable.

Joddy listens to me and then gives me a reality check. We are only 2 sessions in but I appreciate her insight and the advice she gives to me. My free will to take the advise but it’s very helpful in my process
