These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Abby Chack. 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.
Abby is such an effective therapist that is able to get to the core issues quickly. Her experience with EMDR is truly an invaluable asset. She is also a clever and humorous person with a great understanding of human nature. It has truly been a joy and blessing to work with her and have issues resolved that I thought were just part of my life.

Abby is wonderful. I am so fortunate to have her as my therapist. She listens, guides, is supportive, non- judge mental, has a great sense of humor. I could not ask for anything better in a therapist.
