These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Yolanda Patterson. 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.
Mrs. Patterson is the first therapist I've had and is exactly what I've hoped one would be like she is a joy to talk to and has a comforting tone, she understands me and gives me the best advise and tools to help me though. Great therapist, I would recommend her to anyone.

Yolanda is very caring of the issues I’ve brought to her. She listens to every detail. I’ve had a great time explaining what I’ve been going through because I don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed, she makes me feel comfortable.
