These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristi Strickland. 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.
Although Kristi and I have only had two sessions I feel that she definitely knows what she’s suggesting will help me on my way. She’s a great listener and and seems to have a vast understanding of what I’m going through mentally.
