These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kendra Patton. 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.
Kendra is very patient, caring and understanding. Listens well and makes you feel at ease while expressing yourself. Sessions feel personal and focused without rush.
