These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Iris Wilsek. 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 have been seeing Iris for a little over a year now. I've gone to therapy for many years before seeing her and have seen a number of therapists. However, Iris has hands down been the best I've ever seen. I have never clicked so well with a therapist before. Off the bat, I felt no judgment from her. Her calm laid-back demeanor was very inviting. She has such a deep understanding of mental health, more so than what I've experienced with other providers. She not only created a safe space for me to open up but was very proactive in giving me goals and homework so I could get out of my comfort zone, challenge myself, and take control of my anxieties.
I look forward to our appointments and have made more progress in a short time than I ever thought possible. I absolutely recommend Iris to anyone and everyone.

I have tried several places to talk to someone safely. I have been let down over and over again, until I finally tried betterhelp, which I kept hearing about. I answered all the questions and was definitely matched with a great therapist. I trust and feel safe with Iris and what I have to share. Her suggestions are great and a work in progress for me.

Iris has really allowed me to explore why I have been having such a hard time lately and I really do feel much better after our sessions! She listens and asks the right questions to get me to see where the issues are coming from! She has truly been a blessing I wish I did this sooner…
