These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sharon Arvelo. 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.
Dr. Arvelo has been really helpful in asking important questions that help me reflect on my situation. She understands my cultural and religious background very well even though she is not from the same. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
