These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Stephen Carroll. 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.
Granted it's still a hair early in our process and he's still getting to know me but thus far he has been quite attentive, supportive, uplifting, starting to challenge me and has made great assessments about understanding what may challenge me. I am enjoying the conversation and feel comfortable sharing my thoughts with him.
