These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. James Young. 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.
Dr. Young really helped me when I was going through a recent life upheaval, struggling with my identity and purpose. I'm not gonna say I have it all figured out now, but he definitely helped shine light on my strengths and narrow my focus on what is important me. He has a calm demeanor and is overall, just a great person.
