These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for John O'Ryan. 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.
John is absolutely amazing. Creates a safe space. Not only is he great for those dark or tough sessions, but also assures you that it's totally normal and valid when you have sessions where you just sort of ramble about whatever not deeply insightful or not traumatic at all thing waltzes into your brain. Cannot recommend highly enough!
