These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jean Cummings. 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.
Jean has been professional yet understanding of everything that I have discussed with her. I feel confident that she will tell me when I’m wrong or areas I need to work on, but also reassuring in the areas I feel like I’m lacking and she thinks I’m doing great. She has a great schedule for getting sessions in and is always on time to them.

I have only had one session, but so far i'd say Jean has made therapy easier than I expected.
