These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susan Eschrich. 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 am so thankful I have found Susan - she has been a wonderful support, and is so grounded and gives very practical advice. Very accessible when I need her, and reaches out to connect if I am not consistent with communicating. I feel I have a support available to me when I need it - to run things by, etc. Lovely!

Susan has helped me slowly begin to break down the walls I've put up around myself to keep myself safe. She's understanding, but she also pushes me to work on my issues.
