These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary Pollock. 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 only met with Mary a couple of times so far, but I am very happy I was paired with her! She’s very understanding. I love talking to her and getting her feedback and insight! I leave every meeting with her feeling like I have better understanding of myself and I have an idea of steps I can take to do and feel better.
