Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rukhsana Khan. 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.
We were working for more than two months with Rukhsana and achieved great results what I didn't achieve before doing therapy for over a year in another place. What I like is that she always try to use well known practices and methods that really go to the core of my problems. My main issue was marriage related, thanks to Rukhsana I understood myself better and she helped my to understand my husband better and she advised me about the things I should discuss with my husband to clarify things between us. It really helped and I am happy that I am feeling in a better place now! Thanks God we have great therapists that can help people!

I found Rukhsana Khan to be very competent in her work. She was able to understand where I come from and while I am still continuing sessions with her, I am optimistic that I would get rid of my problems and have a strong mental health

She is a very patient and understanding therapist, I especially like the calmness surrounding her aura. She does not overpush her patients, but lets things unfold with ease.

Every session with Rukhsana is productive. She makes me feel heard and understood. We dig deeper into my childhood and also current challenges which is so helpful in healing and understanding myself more. I would highly recommend Rukhsana as a specialist, 5 stars!
