These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Louis Koch. 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 knew some of my past therapist were failing me but after only two sessions I realize how little my past therapist were actually doing to help me. Louis is so intelligent and he's teaching me so much about why I am the way I am

Louis had been very supportive in helping me through my therapy journey. I feel very comfortable discussing a wide variety of subjects with him, and he is always accepting and understanding. I definitely recommend Louis and BetterHelp.

I have had one session so far and we have a plan for moving forward. He seems very knowledgeable and understanding about my situation and concerns.
