These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Ivey. 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.
Michelle has taken an active role in helping to identify my struggles and thoroughly pinpoint what my rooted issues are. From there she has given me different ways to approach triggering interactions as well as how I can start to overcome the anxiety that ensues from them. Most importantly she listens, to everything, and reassures the feelings or emotions I have are real and validated.
