These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for LeAndrea Banks. 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.
Ms. Banks is great to work with, she understood from the first time we spoke what I needed. She is a true Professional and knew how to connect with me. She is a great fit for me!!!!!
