These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Fatai Popoola. 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 appreciate having a therapist that is culturally appropriate for me. It helps with connecting issues and giving feedback in an appropriate way. We can often find common ground and I never leave a session thinking my therapist doesn't understand me or what I am trying to communicate.
