"Senora is a great therapist. However, the systems at Alssaro suck. They will cancel the same day but if you do, you’re charged. They also didn’t have my receipts available for a whole year..."

— Alssaro Counseling Services review (Birdeye)

"Unfortunately I cannot recommend this doctor... She would fall asleep on zoom, and I'd have to wake her up. And then when I confronted her, there were excuses."

— Dr. Kristine Kingsley review (WebMD)

"Many clients praise the approachable, caring nature of practitioners... Reviewers also frequently commend the convenience of telehealth options... multiple reviews mention delays in appointment scheduling or communication lapses..."
