These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Louis Koch. 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.
Although I have just begun therapy with Louis, I believe he is listening to me and trying to understand me and what I am wanting out of therapy. Good experience so far.
