These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Pamela Francken. 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.
Better Help has offered several platforms to help me work through my anxiety and learning how to heal from Co-Dependency and past Trauma. Pamela has been key to keeping me grounded. She understands the person I am and how to guide me to the places I need to heal. She is supportive and is always there when I send a journal entry or a message to encourage me and remind me I am not alone. She uses tools such as "thought logs" and "cognitive behavior distortions" worksheets as well, both are extremely helpful to keep me focused and to retrain my brain to healthy thinking.
