These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Alejandro De Elias. 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.
Dr. De Elías is “la crème de la crème”. I started my sessions with him in January 2025. After a series of consecutive failures of my medical clinical exams, I felt defeated and hopeless. My self esteem was at all time low and my imposter syndrome had convinced me that I did not had what it takes to finish my degree. Dr. De Elías understands my story and has helped me understand how unresolved wounds regarding my past academic, family and relationship experience manifest in my present life. He’s helped me understand how my past doesn’t have to define my present or future. I’ve been seeing him weekly since and 3 months in, I am a whole new person. I’ve recovered my sense of self and I’m confident in my abilities. I’m learning, not defining, myself from my failures. I’m recovering my resilience. I’m happy and I look forward to all the future progress I can make. Thank you so much Doc!

Dr. Elias is fair and has way to make you reflect and help understand what you can do to better help yourself.

Dr. De Elias was knowledgeable, competent, and well-spoken. He listened to and adjusted to what I was saying and made connections to relevant insight into my trauma. He may be direct, but his experienced advice will equip you with the tools to unclog your anxieties and distortive thinking.
