These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Erin James. 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.
Erin has been such a vital part of my mental well-being and has been wonderful in asking questions to allow me to think on a deeper level. She actively listens to my concerns and thoughts and gives appropriate advice on how to cope. 10/10!
