These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Samantha Garcia. 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.
She’s amazing and I’ve been feeling a lot better ever since I started therapy with her. She sets goals and tasks for the week, which is very helpful and guides me in achieving them. She’s very accommodating and understands various cultural differences.

I have had two meetings with Samantha Garcia. I feel that she listened to me closely. While I did talk some about my past and my upbringing, she understood that I am mostly focused on the future and big changes in my life. She has helped my explore my decisions while encouraging me to live in the present and do things that bring me joy. I appreciate her feedback and encouragement.
