These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Bethye Valenzuela. 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.
When I first started therapy, my initial thought was that I had done this in the past, and I don't think it helped. However, since working with Dr V, I have had positive experiences dealing with my problems. Although I may be more open to seeking help, she has been instrumental in helping me improve.

Dr. Valenzuela is the first therapist I have had who listens and understands my concerns without passing judgment or making me feel like what I’m feeling or going through is not deeply affecting me. She gives me support and tools to face my obstacles and challenges me to do the work for myself. She validates emotions and actually truly cares.

My experience with Dr. Valenzuela so far has been excellent. She is very professional, a good listener, and provides practical guidance. She also gives you many resources and techniques to help you improve the process of working on yourself. I am glad I could find a therapist with whom I feel confident and comfortable talking about intimate things.
