These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marie Lavigne. 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 seeing Marie for almost 3 months now on a weekly basis. She has exceeded any and all expectations I’ve had for a therapist. I’ve seen countless Counselors, mediators and psychologists. She has helped me more in just a month or two than I have had with anyone else in the past 10 years. She is kind, thoughtful, resourceful, creative, and offers a ton of support. I’d highly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to better themselves.
