My first session with Marlenny Luna made me so glad that I signed up for BetterHelp. While I have friends and family as a support system, this is the first time I tried counseling, and Marlenny Luna listens and helps me in new way that I have never experienced before. After talking to her, I am able to think about things in a new perspective, and my head feels much clearer. She also responds to my messages very frequently, checking in with me with detailed and thoughtful responses. I really appreciate her as my counselor and would highly recommend her.

Marlenny is an excellent counsellor. After having a bad experience with my first counsellor I was sceptical about trying another but after our first conversation I already felt at ease and like I could trust her with my thoughts and feelings.
