Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Megan Hougardy. 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.
Megan has been a huge eye opener and given great resources. Even the little things of changing the words I use have been helpful! I’m so glad I was matched with her.
