These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauren Mears. 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.
Lauren always listens intently and often times finds ways of showing me that I already know the answers I’m looking for. She treats me with respect and kindness and never makes me feel dumb for feeling the way I do about things. I highly recommend her for anyone that is struggling with life in general.
