Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Angela Smyser. 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.

Angela is truly the best she listens. She takes what I say and make sure that I have something to take away from my journal entries or from our meetings so I can continue to put into practice, but I need to do to feel better.
