These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Thomas McClernon. 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 think Tom is a great listener and understands my situation a lot. He's patient with me, let's me talk when I need to, and encourages me with a lot of helpful advice and information. I look forward to our next session together
