Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Peter Mccusker. 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. Mccusker is thoughtful, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable. He made me feel a lot better and more emotionally stable, he helped me develop action plans to take care of myself, and he was an excellent coach for me through some big life decisions. Could not recommend Dr. Mccusker highly enough
