These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shylynski Smith. 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.
I appreciated her direct style. She’s very encouraging and I would recommend her to anyone.

I have done two sessions with Shylynski and they have been great. She truly listens to what I am saying and she also gives great tools and advice. She also makes me feel very comfortable during the sessions.
