These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Leila Kandahari. 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.
We have only had one session so I will need more time before I feel comfortable writing a review. However our first meeting went well
