Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Hagedorn. 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.
Simply put, Mike is just awesome! I never felt so heard and listened to in my life. He has a dearth of experience and understanding of tough situations. He is Yoda to Lukeskywalker to me. That pretty much sums it up.
