These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Mishel Rych. 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.
Dr. Rich makes herself available when I need her and she has created a safe space for me to be open and honest with my feelings. I’m grateful for the guidance and support she has provided and I feel better mentally, physically and spiritually. I know it is an uphill journey but I’m taking this journey of self care.

Dr. Rych is a phenomenal therapist. I have learned so much from our sessions, and felt completely understood every step of the way.
