I’ve been doing therapy with Rena for about a year now in what I can certainly call the most challenging and difficult year or my life. She’s extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I’m really thankful and highly recommend her.

She gives great advice. She is easy to talk to and helps me more each session I have with her. I would recommend BetterHelp to others.
