These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lisa Allen. 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 really like that Lisa knows about Autism even though it’s not written on her profile and I like how we can joke around and that she’s very encouraging and helpful

Lisa’s personal experience working in the school setting allows her a perspective that is significant when understanding the stress and trauma that this environment can impose on someone.
