Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Cortez. 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 strongly recommend Michelle Cortez as your therapist if you're looking for someone that is honest and who will hold you accountable. Her delivery is very tactful and you can tell she is genuinely concerned for your well being. She listens and asks plenty of open ended questions, she truly makes therapy easy.

Better help was my first time trying over the phone therapy after it was suggested by a friend. Michelle has helped me immensely over the last 6 months. She’s helped me understand possible triggers, gave me better coping skills, and overall a new outlook on life. I am very thankful for Michelle, I look forward to our weekly appointments.
