These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauren Prina. 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.
When I first started therapy with Lauren I was in a dark mental space. I had tried therapy and medication before with a different therapist, but that devolved into me simply reciting what things I had done that week. With Lauren, while not all of my anxieties and stresses are solved, I've move much further from the dark place I was at and have been making steps to improve my life. I feel comfortable talking with her and trust her to provide insightful perspectives and help me continue to move forward.

I am so glad to have Lauren to help me process all of the issues I deal with. I feel like my she always has a fair assessment of my situation, even questioning back to me to help me see how I can deal with things better in the moment. It has been more helpful than I could imagine.
