I love seeing people search for help, making focused and positive changes in their lives, and achieve better mental and physical health, all of which lead to stronger relationships, enhanced living conditions, and sustainable opportunities in other areas of their lives.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marlenny Luna. 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.

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.
