These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Mark Chustz. 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.
Dr. Chustzs' experience and knowledge is unmatched. I have not had a session that feels like a waste of time. Every session with Dr. Chustz has been productive; some sessions have been harder to swallow, but in the end, for me, that has been the biggest difference. Dr Chustz is as real as real can be, he has been the best therapist and my personal favorite since I started talking to Dr. Chustz. I highly recommend Dr. Chustz!

Love this guy so much. I’ve never gotten much out of therapy or looked forward to my appointments until I met him. I get so much out of our phone sessions but sometimes I wish we could chat over video. Not a big deal at all though!
