These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for James Sanders. 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.
Took me awhile to find a therapist that truly understands what it means to be an effective, empathetic, and competent therapist. After 3 sessions I can already tell James has had enough life experience and self awareness to actually be able to guide me through my own struggles.

Dr. Sanders is very knowledgeable and understanding. He listens well without judgement and makes me feel comfortable. We enjoy laughter as well. Great overall demeanor, great guy!
