These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Patrice Lamour. 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. Lamour has helped me hold myself accountable and has held space for me to work through several factors in my life- guiding to me to stick to my truth and live an authentic life, and having her in my life has helped me feel the courage to do the actions it takes to move in that direction.

Dr. Lamour has been very good at listening to my life concerns. After only 2 therapy sessions, I feel confident that she's been able to give me helpful feedback. She sent me some information (via YouTube video) which I could easily use, in between sessions that was an added benefit to look more deeply at my relationship questions.
