These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Monica Kelson. 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. Kelson’s approach to my past traumas has helped me improved my every day life. Her understanding of my feelings and emotions helped me get past some traumas I had & life events I endured during a relationship.
