These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kate Alfaro. 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.
She has a background that fits with my current life challenges. She is supportive and gives me valuable inside.
