These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Makeda Kahlein. 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 value the new takes she provides on what is troubling me. Reframing leads to better understanding.
