These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristie Preston . 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.
Kristie has been an angel in my healing process. She is kind, understanding, encouraging, knowledgeable and challenges me to think outside of my own thoughts and feelings. I can go to her with anything that seems completely distorted and she provides clarity and insight. I’ve never experienced such amazing therapy and I have recommended her and Better Help to say many friends and family.
