These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Laughlin. 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.
Great listener, gives amazing advice, and plenty of experience. I’m glad to have been paired with Michelle. She saved my relationship while helping me set boundaries and work on my own issues.
