Work with Dr. Christina Wafer (Ph.D.) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

I’ve only worked with Dr. Wafer for a short time, but she has already been so helpful. She’s kind, gentle, and still straightforward. She challenges me to think about my situation from a different perspective, and also be able to express what I am feeling in the moment. I’m so grateful for everything she has helped me with!

So far Dr. Wafer is a very caring human being, and she listens to what I have to say without judging. Her views are rather philosophical and that's a good thing. The best part is that she offers homework. I hope to stay with her for as long as I can.

Dr.Dawn is great! She’s super easy to talk to in a way where it feels like I’m talking to a close friend rather than a therapist (which is fantastic). She checks in with me consistently and sends over some pretty good “home work”. I think she’s a good match for me!

Dr. Dawn has been amazing -- supportive, kind, professional, and her clinical experience shows through the material she has shared with me about ADHD. I also feel like I don't have to be defensive and though I can talk a mile a minute, she listens patiently and without judgment. I look forward to continuing my therapy with her and am very happily surprised that online therapy sessions have been so pleasant and also motivating to continue my progress and determination to get a handle on my symptoms. Thank you very much, Dr. Dawn! :)
