These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joan Carroll-Cronin. 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.
I usually avoid writing reviews, but I highly recommend Joan Carroll-Cronin for therapy. She has many years of experience, great advice, listens very well, and is very empathetic.
