These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Vanessa Guidry. 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 have gone through a few different therapists in about a year. Vanessa Guidry has helped me more in my first meeting than the other therapists combined. I couldn’t be happier and more excited for the future.
