These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shirley "Elizabeth" Loftin. 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.
My therapist is the best one I have ever had in over 20 years of therapy. She listens, she gets me, and she supports my beliefs in myself. I have worked hard and she has helped me through some pretty hard things. I 10 out of 10 recommend her. She's absolutely caring, respectful, and pushes me in a nice way to achieve my goals. More like encouraging me I guess. I have come a long way in the time I have been with her.
