These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mark Schiffman. 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.
Mark is an excellent therapist. I've found him to be timely, professional, an extremely good listener, and regularly offers me quality insights or perspectives to consider that are helpful and applicable in my life.
Compared with some of my past therapists, Mark can be a bit more cerebral and philosophical, so he might not be the perfect match for everyone. But I find him to be an excellent match for me, and finding out if he's a good match for you is certainly worth your time.
