These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Emily Angelico. 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.
Emily is great. She's understanding and really takes the time to try and get to know you. She asks good questions that makes you think / analyze situations differently and to me is very beneficial
