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

My husband and I have only had three sessions with Dr. L so far, but we’re already starting to see progress in how we communicate and appreciate each other. She’s helping us be more open to each other’s perspectives and approach challenges in a more team-oriented way. We’re excited to continue working with her and feel hopeful about the positive changes we’re beginning to experience in our relationship.

Dr Legner has been a great source of comfort and insight for the challenges I am facing from a health and relationship perspective.
She has also provided information for additional resources available related to my MS.
