Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sarai Darbandi. 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.
Therapy with Sarai is like kind of like asking a big sister for advice, if your big sister was a certified therapist with a broad spectrum of knowledge and expertise. I like that she’s not ONLY a listening ear, but provides tangible advice and action steps, often incorporating studied tactics such as EMDR, visualization, CBT.
