These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Richard James. 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. James is incredibly supportive and has proven so helpful in walking me through whatever is present of mind on a weekly basis.
