These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Donna Smith. 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.
Her experience alone has me listening and interacting. I am open to her exercises that’s making me think about how to cope if issues arise or trigger me. She listens and I believe she is truly concerned about my mental well being.

Dr. Smith is a caring, uplifting therapist. She is supportive in and out of planned sessions. She is very flexible regarding methods of therapy and provides worksheets in a timely manner. She is patient even if we are halfway across the world from each other! I always look forward to our sessions together.
