These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary Jean-Byk. 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.
Mary is great. She makes me think outside the box and look into things I would have never thought to look at. She is making me understand my past and how that may be affecting my current situation and how to navigate through it.
