These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Diana Bernhardy. 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.

I check in with her occasionally and she always listens, understands and offers great advice.

Diana Bernhardy has just the right amount of professionalism and human kindness that makes you feel heard while also not make you feel like you are just another patient. Her balance with knowledge, kindness, patience, and understanding makes it easy to connect with her in a way I haven't been able to do with other therapists. No matter what we talk about she always makes sure that I feel safe, heard, and acknowledge that my feelings and thoughts are valid. She is great!

Working with her has been such a meaningful part of my journey. I feel like I’ve come to understand myself in a way I hadn’t before—I have a clearer sense of what matters to me, what I’m looking for, and how I want to move through the world.

She has helped me reach a place where I don’t feel the need for therapy anymore. I’m really grateful for the care, patience, and insight she shared with me along the way.
