These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Anna Villani. 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.
She is an amazing physician, who understands me and my needs.

I am new to better help and have Anna as my therapist. I was extremely nervous to start therapy and Anna made me feel at ease from our first contact. I am looking forward working with her more.

I’ve spoken with Anna a handful of times and can give only a preliminary review on which I will expand later. Having been to therapy before, it was clear right away that she’s great at what she does. What is most evident of this is the fact that she does not always tell me “what I want to hear”, rather she finds a way to encourage me to take responsibility for my own behavior while still demonstrating an enormous amount of empathy for my circumstances and where the initial behaviors come from. I also appreciate that in a difficult situation between two partners, she effectively remains a neutral party, giving us actionable advice and remaining empathetic to both of us without speaking negatively about the other. Lastly, she’s just incredibly human- she has a calming and respectful demeanor but is nonetheless firm in her approach. I find this to be a rare and desireable balance in a therapist.
