These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Aillen Ford. 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 not had great luck with other therapists in the past. She has been great with me so far and I am glad she’s my therapist.

We've had the pleasure of working with Aillen as our therapist, and it's been a truly enriching experience. Aillen stands out as an exceptional listener, always giving us the space and attention we need to express ourselves. Her warm and caring personality makes every session feel welcoming and comfortable. Her depth of knowledge and understanding is evident in the way she guides our conversations and offers insights that are both helpful and thought-provoking. As a couple, we find our sessions with Aillen incredibly valuable, and we always leave feeling heard and supported. Aillen is not just a therapist; she's an amazing person who genuinely cares about our well-being. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.

Aillen is a fantastic listener and someone who is very nonjudgemental and insightful (you know, like a good therapist should be).
I definitely recommend her.
