These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sherry Acosta. 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.
Very kind and accommodating.

Dr. Acosta is a very kind, easy to talk to person. She is always very timely, but at the same time never rushes you either. I would highly recommend her- especially to certain people, who, especially may feel a bit uncomfortable at first with talk therapy, who often worry about things like ‘what to say’. She is very open and honest in my opinion, and does not seem at all judgmental (as I feel this is something other people often fear going into therapy) nor is she negative in any way. I was matched with Dr. Acosta on the first time, so I also feel BetterHelp does a good job at asking what your specific goals are in a therapist and then matching you to someone with those things.

Dr. Acosta has been very helpful listened when I needed to talk and express myself and gave me some feedback that I needed. I would recommend her to anybody that is looking for and hearing ear and also some balanced advice on how to deal with it.

Dr Acosta is a God sent. She understands my complex situation sometimes even before I finish explaining all the details. All her practical advise has already yielded results and had me avoid making emotional decisions that I would later regret. Thank you!
