Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Contreras Romero. 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.
Really appreciate the resources she provides and the support. She really helps me to see every angle of the issues I’m working on so I understand and can work on it.
So supportive and amazing!
She is a great therapist very helpful and lets me speak when I need to!
