These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nicole Kurdyla. 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.
Having worked with Nicole for over a year now has yielded cumulative benefits for her insight and observations that are immediately applicable for me to give myself the space and perspective I need and also brainstorm ideas on how to foster healthy relationships and growth both at home and through work as I navigate a career transition.

All I can say is is that since I've started working with Nicole on better help I feel like I'm getting the support I've always needed. The biggest value point for myself besides the one-on-one video sessions are my ability to send her voice memos throughout the day. She responds in a fair, timely manner and to me that displays somebody who's genuinely interested in me getting better.
