These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sara Wheeler. 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.
I have only been seeing Sarah for about a month now so we haven't had the time to get through much. However, I already think she is great. She checks in on me, provides me with useful exercises, and listens intently without judgement. I get the feeling she really cares.
