These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christine Jacobsen. 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.
Too early in the therapy for review but overall she seems like caring and offering help. It's my first time with therapy so not really sure what to expect.
Written on Apr 12, 2024 after therapy with Christine for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, career difficulties, and adhd
