These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Susan VanHuizen. 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.
Sue has made my first experience with therapy wonderful. I appreciate her flexibility and listening ear. I would recommend her to anyone.
