These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Meridith Crocco. 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.
Meridith has been a huge help in navigating what we call my "anxiety monster" and helping me feel more confident taking steps to strengthen my personal relationships and career growth. She's a joy to work with.
