These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Lien-Mitobe. 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.
I've been meeting with Laura for a few years and she's been an incredible advisor as I struggle with the challenges of being a parent to small people! Her experience with children has made her an incredible asset to ensure we give our kids the right support, put them in the right schools, etc.

Laura is fantastic! Though Betterhelp may not be for everyone, Laura has made the experience of using the service an extremely pleasant one for me, and we have worked through, if not solved, things I was carrying which I worried would be with me for a long time, if not forever.
