These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Andrea Spence. 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.
Andrea has been wonderful. Not only does she listen but her feed back, comments & advice really shows that she cares & wants to help with my situation. Her advice has been helpful and I like how she tells it how it is in a caring way. She has always there when I need her which gives me a peace of mind also.
