These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Matthew Howard. 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.
Matt is awesome. He’s the first therapist I’ve actually wanted to talk to and genuinely felt cared about and understood by. I’ve tried therapy in the past but never stuck with it because I just didn’t have that connection with the therapist. With Matt, that hasn’t been an issue at all.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist. I honestly don’t think it matters what your background is or what you’re going through—he has a way of listening, understanding, and making you feel comfortable talking about things. He’s just awesome at what he does.

Matt has been a constant source of positivity and clarity in a time when I needed it the most. His counsel and care helped me navigate a very troubling and confusing time.
