These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristina "Kris" Wise. 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.
Kris is incredible. In my few sessions with him, it was the first time in a while I have had a therapist feel fully engaged in a conversation with me. Rather than “how does that make you feel”, he asks me thought provoking questions that really dig into my core issues and I am supported the entire time. We use every minute of our session, they are NEVER cut short. I am very much enjoying my sessions thus far and excited to see the progress I am able to make with Kris’s help.
