These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for José Alvarado. 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.
Always respectful and professional when talking to him and provides great parallels with his own life experiences. Has a great sense of humour and displays empathy and compassion at appropriate times. A pleasure to work with!!!
