These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauren Joosten. 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 have only had 2 sessions with her so far, but I feel like she's exactly what I need in a therapist. She listens but she also "keeps it real". I feel like she actually listens and sees me as a "real" person instead of just letting me talk and giving some cliche advice and clicking off and going to the next patient. So, anyway, liking her so far. Will update after more sessions.
