These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ardella (Della) VanDyke. 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.
Genuinely such a sweet soul. She has been extremely helpful and is great listener as well. Della listens to what I say/how I feel and does not judge, but accepts me for who I am. Extremely thankful for having her as my therapist. Thank you Della!
