These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Matthew Spencer. 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.
I didn’t think I was going to like having a male therapist especially for my first time seeing a therapist but I tried to keep an open mind and Matthew has done a great job making me feel comfortable and cared for. He always ends our session asking if I got what I needed from the session and if I need anything more from him and that is something I appreciate.
Written on Feb 27, 2025 after therapy with Matthew for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, parenting issues, and self esteem
