These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Joann Meshamel. 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.
Joann took the time to listen in the first session and make my thoughts and feelings be heard loud and clearly. The safe environment she has created allowed me to open up more and be able to feel hopeful about my future progress with therapy.

Validates what I feel, very likable, knowledgeable in her practice. I really appreciate her check-ins. I struggle with asking for help, and she reaches out because I feel like she knows I need it. Now that’s a good therapist.
