These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sharmie Silva. 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.
Sharmie was great to talk to about family and relationships issues. She offers a great perspective. She is very warm and welcoming as well. I had a great experience.
