These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for April Vandiver. 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.
April’s demeanor and presentation during therapy are both calming and challenging. She clearly listens to what I say and gives thought before responding. I appreciate her flexibility in conversation as well. We do not have to dwell on a particular topic if something else appears to surface. I look forward to continuing our sessions.

I had a positive experience working with April. I really appreciated how prepared she was for each session, which made me feel valued and understood. She created a safe and comfortable space where I could open up, and she helped me see my challenges more clearly. Her guidance was thoughtful and insightful, and I’ve gained so much clarity through our sessions. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, professional, and effective therapist!"

I very much appreciate April’s attention to detail and her awareness of my affect. She has a positive attitude and and understanding of the impacts of life’s hardships. She helps in creating realistic and attainable small goals to help me work toward a desired outcome, even when my path is a little off she helps me focus in the right direction of self-awareness, self-reflection, and control or lack thereof and how to handle challenges and maintain my own boundaries, integrity, and self-worth.
