These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jeanette Salinas. 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.
August 2024::: I was thrilled to get an invitation from Jeanette Salinas when I submitted my profile and goals assessment, that was very detailed. Her resume is off the charts, and to be matched up with her meant everything to me, because we were near the same age, and had many similar experiences, so I felt like I was talking, confiding in a very close friend, from the beginning. She is very skilled in helping to keep our time on topic and yet still listening so sincerely. I highly recommend Jeanette to anyone and I feel Better Help is a fantastic concept, and has served me perfectly, and nothing could be more convenient for our busy lives. Thank you Jeanette and Better Help for all you do for others !!! God Bless, namaste

I came to BetterHelp for a specific situation giving me anxiety. Once that ended quickly, I kept coming because I am learning how to treat myself better and how to handle situations I didn’t really realize needed to be handled. I have a lot of work ahead of me but I feel better after every call and look forward to the next one.

I've been seeing Jeanette for 1 1/2 years now and wouldn't be who I am now or where I am now if it weren't for her experience and support. I am finally on a track to reach internal goals that I couldn't even imagine before. I am so thankful for Betterhelp and Jeanette for helping me understand myself. Eternally grateful.
