These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Patricia Perales Huerta. 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.
I highly recommend meeting with Dr. Huerta if you’re looking for someone who is open, honest, and real with you. She helped me navigate through some extremely low points in this past year, uncover issues from my past, and has successfully given me many tools to use in the future. Thank you again!
