These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for David Sprouse. 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.
David said some things less than ten minutes into our first session that absolutely hit the nail on the head and helped me alter my way of thinking about a long-standing issue I had spent years talking about in traditional in-person therapy, to no resolve. I will be forever grateful for his expertise.

David Sprouse has been great. I have never been in therapy before and wasn't sure what to expect. His style seems more laid back than formal and is still very professional. This really helped put me at ease. I would definitely recommend him.
