These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nancy Montes. 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.
What I like about Nancy is that I don't have to explain to her the nature of my job, she's already been there, done that. Most people (including therapists) cannot fathom how hard my job is, the politics, the danger, etc... I don't have time to explain that, I need to dig into my issues, Nancy gets that. Thank you!
