These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lisa Agate. 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 think Lisa is great and understands where I am coming from. She encourages me enough while also being able to tell me directly the things I need to hear but not necessarily what I want to hear. In my few sessions with her, I think I have made a lot of progress. I am grateful for meeting Lisa.

I’ve not been working with Lisa, long, a few weeks now! But already I feel confident in the direction she’s guiding me, I find her sessions powerful and her guidance very accurate and hitting the spot! She’s switched on, listens, understands and is very supportive! I highly recommend and excited to see where our journey goes!
