These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Larsen Barnds. 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.
Larsen is profoundly empathetic and thoughtful in his responses and suggestions. He also seems to have a great breadth of knowledge of mental health research and treatments he can draw on in his huge arsenal of tools. He far exceeds my prior expectations of any therapist and I hope others will seek him out while his calendar still has openings.

Larsen has been extremely helpful during our time together. He always responds in a timely manner and never leaves me hanging when I have questions or concerns. During our sessions he makes me feel like I’m no longer facing my issues alone and provides me with a variety of ways to cope in a healthy and safe way. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I’ve had 2 sessions with Larsen but I already feel like he knows my communication style and knows things about me that I would have never thought of. He is so responsive and kind and I would recommend Larsen to anyone.
