These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Booth. 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.
Michael Booth was very helpful during our sessions. He was receptive and guided a path for me on many improvements I could take. After a few sessions over a couple weeks I stated to improve in my mood and outlook. Comfortable communication, I felt like we were on the same wavelength.

Michael has helped me out tremendously. He has taken time to figure out my situation, then offered advice and practical feedback, which I can put into action. All of which is based on that situation. He is extremely knowledgeable and understands, as well as respects, my beliefs and practices. Even to the point of tying in those beliefs with his advice. I am grateful for the work that he has done. As well as his ability to help me make sense of where I am and how to get where I want to be.
