These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kent Jarratt. 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.
Kent is the best! I have had a hard time in the past finding a therapist who saw me and listened to me even if it was only to de stress and not talk about specific things I needed to work on. I 100% recommend him and appreciate his help. He is the best therapist I've had in over 10 years
