These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laurie Speed. 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.
I feel better after talking to her and having some one else confirm, "yes, these things were hurtful and should not have happened that way." I feel like I'm getting stronger within myself and back to normal. I don't cry EVERY day anymore and most of the hurtful things roll of my back and I have the strength to stand up, say "NO MORE", and walk away.

She is so wonderful at letting me rant my feelings out and I have full confidence that she will be able to help me with anything I present her. She’s good at calling me out in a way that translates to me.
Great match!
