These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Russ Sanders. 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.
After one year of therapy I can say I am very happy with my therapist and with the way I see myself coping with life.
When compared to the feelings and thoughts I had when started, I now see a lot of improvement in my everyday life and I am grateful.
I don't believe in chance.
My therapist has been the right person at the right time, with his professionality, experience and good manners.

I was really nervous starting therapy after so many years, but Russ has been nothing short of a great listener and very supportive and helpful for me. If I would’ve known how comfortable it really is talking to somebody like him, I would’ve done this years ago!
