These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Martine Baron. 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.
Martine is very intentional and extremely engaging. She’s very blunt in a respectful way and connect with me. In way I can’t articulate myself, she immediately figures out what I’m saying and helps me expand. She’s great!
