These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Luz Velez. 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.
She's been very helpful and she introduced me to a new concept that helped me understand my mental stressors better.
