These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shannon Larson-Smith. 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 feel heard as well as understood by my therapist. I fully trust their expertise. I recommend BetterHelp to anybody who might need somebody to talk to work on past trauma or need an accountability coach.
