These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jennifer Seward. 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.
Jennifer makes me feel understood, gives me new perspectives on certain situations I struggle with, and teaches me tools I can use to improve my overall mental/emotional well being. She is very friendly, offers a kind ear to listen, and always helps me find ways to think through things that will impact me more positively. Highly recommend her as a therapist
