These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for José Alvarado. 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.
Jose has helped me a lot to understand certain aspects that have led me to think about improving as a person.

I enjoyed and felt listened to with Mr. Alvarado. I like his approach because he creates a safe space and can make a genuine connection.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for an open-minded therapist.
