These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristen Lewis. 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.
As someone who is trying therapy for the first time and going into it with much skepticism, Kristen is very easy to talk to and is very attentive when I am talking. She seems to understand what my main struggles are even when I don’t directly point them out myself and has very good advice regarding those struggles. She is also very positive while also being realistic and I think that’s very important when it comes to dealing with someone who is having some mental struggle. Overall I am happy that I’ve started therapy and I’m very grateful that this experience with Kristen was my first therapy experience.

Kristen is amazeballs! Each week she has been so supportive and an amazing sounding board! I leave every session feeling better about the week ahead and better able to handle the situations life throws at me.
