These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bertha Ruvalcaba. 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.
Ms. Ruvalcaba is an excellent listener and has a sympathetic ear. I personally tend to talk out what is bothering me until the solution comes to me and Ms. Ruvalcaba respects my process.
