These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dean Altenhofen. 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.
I’ve only had three sessions with my therapist but I already feel more confident, I feel like he understands me and he’s willing to listen about the things I need to talk through. He’s helping me accept myself and he’s great at framing things in a way that speaks to me.
