These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Percy Ford. 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.
Percy is an excellent therapist. It’s so nice to have someone to talk with with a background in counseling, to whom I can present my inner self. I trust Percy as a counselor and also enjoy seeing him like a friend. I would say he offers 9 parts listening to 1 part advice, but I would also consider the advice to be more of a redirection/encouragement of goals that you present. I strong recommend him to anyone lucky enough to get him as a therapist.
