These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary Hartenstein. 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.
Mary has been very easy to talk to and has helped me work through a very hard situation. She has shown me that my feelings matter just as much as others and that sharing those feelings is not wrong. I appreciate her greatly.

Mary is a great listener. She calms my worries and offers support and helpful guidance. She responds quickly and checks in often. I wouldn't want any other therapist. She feels like a great friend who I get to share my life with.
