These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joan Palan. 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.
Joan is very good at listening and offering guidance when applicable. She has helped me see patterns and trends that are unhealthy and helped me in learning how to observe and redirect some behavior and negative thoughts.
