Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristi Whitford. 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.

Kristi is very tentative to her patients and gives some of the best advice in each situation that maybe challenging. when I need to talk to her, she is quick to respond, and is always there checking in on me. Kristi helps support me and provides constructive feedback when situations are not in my favor and helps me work through so many feelings.

She is a very supportive and hands on listener. I trust her with my heart. I have really enjoyed talking with her. I really feel like she listens to me. Unlike other therapist’s I’ve had in the past. Highly recommend!
