These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Martha Bustamante. 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 love Martha. This is my first experience going to therapy, but she makes me feel very comfortable and understood. I feel heard and seen. I wanted someone that would help me set goals and give me ideas and other ways to cope and heal my pain and she's definitely succeeding in that area. She's made this experience for me very comforting and easy to navigate. I truly appreciate her empathy and understanding. Thank you so much Martha

She is amazing. She is insightful. She helps me explore what I need. She helps me stay focused with my goals. She is working with me to discover my needs. She gives me realistic expectations, feedback, and is honest. She provides me with information that is vital to my growth.

Martha is incredible. She not only listens but also challenges you to truly dig into the core of how you feel. She understands there are times when certain topics may be too much, but also does a wonderful job of reminding you that sometimes they still need to be addressed no matter how difficult they are.
Ultimately, the only reason I am transferring from Martha in the future is due to being in a different country and the access to resources. If it were not for that, I would genuinely say Martha is the PERFECT type of therapist for anyone dealing with stress/anxiety/trauma related experiences and she genuinely does give the "patient" confidence in the experience (coming first hand from someone who questioned if this was worth it to realizing that therapy could truly help me better myself).
Thank you Martha and Better Help for connecting us.
