These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shariece Hastings. 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.
Shariece is a great listener as well as a great responder. The thing I like the most is that if she feels something is off, she won’t hesitate to ask you about it. I look forward to our meetings.

I worked with Shariece for a few months. She is very understanding but also allows you to grow on your own. She also continues to give you things to think about & consider!
