These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ariane Willis-Smith. 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.
Ariane is amazing. She got right into what I needed to start thinking about to get out of my situation. She really cares and she was able to help me reduce my anxiety by 90% in two weeks and she immediately gave me some tools to make sure this is not just a temporary reduction. I had a very forward approach, writing her a substantial introduction and from the first interaction, it was clear she read it and understood me. It was only a few weeks later that I realized just how much she understood. It's wild what just talking to someone this great can accomplish.
