I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and a master's degree in social work from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Leo Lyon. 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.
Leo is friendly kind and understanding. He listens well. He gave me several tools to work through my problem. He's personable and not stiff and uncomfortable. He asks good questions and I feel confident he can help me be better. Highly recommend.
