These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Helen Jackson. 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 haven’t been with Helen very long, but already she’s been amazing. Just knowing she’s a phone call or text away to be there for me has been very calming for me. She’s a very holistic and caring person, and she believes in a level of soulfulness and compassion spirituality that makes it hard to be in a bad mood when I chat with her. I hope under her guidance that I’ll continue to improve physically and mentally

Helen has been AMAZING! I was very reserved when I started therapy and wasn't able to identify what I was feeling but Helen gave me the ability open up and really think about and identify what was going on in my life and ways to help deal with it.

Helen is a gift. I'm truly grateful for her guidance and support. I only wish I knew her sooner in my life. She has a natural ability for listening and bringing clarity to others and I felt completely understood by her in just my first session. Most definitely give her a try.
