These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephen Garlington Sr.. 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 just started therapy up again and was hesitant to do so, but extremely glad I didn't cancel. It's refreshing talk to someone that's wise, thoughtful and kind. Above that, there's a confidence and calmness from Mr. Garlington that makes me feel comfortable as I handle this next chapter in life.
