These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sheila Santoro. 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.
Always very helpful.

Dr. Santoro is an incredible therapist. She has supported me as I navigate through some extremely difficult situations and has provided me with a safe place to process it all. I cannot recommend Dr. Santoro enough to anyone who is looking to begin therapy. 10/10!!
