These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ross Lafleur. 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.
He is a great listener, which is something I needed. I never feel ridiculed or anxious, but rather understood, when I talk about my experiences.
It's like a breath of fresh air, knowing I'm able to talk to someone that I won't be judged for it.
