These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Brian Smerdon. 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.
A good listener and understanding individual who gives excellent ideas to move forward in my life. He makes me comfortable and focuses on positive feelings. And reminds me of the why and how's of said feelings. Highly recommend!
