Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shakera Jackson. 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.

This review comes at a time during most of the holiday season. We have rescheduled our meetings a couple of times and that has been understandable and acceptable. I do think during the month of Dec. 2021, there should be a review of the payments that Betterhelp has received and the number of meeting we have actually attended.
Shakera has taken the time to listen to me and we discuss the situations in depth. I do expect it will take some time in a long way to understand my situation and make some kind of plans for the future.
