These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cristina Primerano. 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.
Cristina has been wonderful over the last few months. She has been open and attentive to whatever I bring to the table each week. She'll take me on a scientific deep dive into reasons why I might be stuck, and always makes a point to affirm my progress. I especially appreciate how she follows up on whatever we talked about the week before. Thanks, Cristina!

She is a great listener and I appreciate how she can go deeper into an area if I want but will hold back if she knows I'm not ready for that.
