I have worked for 20+ years in the field of counseling. My experience is mainly focused on substance abuse issues, related trauma, and the mental health problems that often co-exist. I am a holistic provider, which means that I see the person wholly, mind, body, spirit, and seek to help clients experience themselves wholly. Problems do not occur in a vacuum. Without this holistic perspective, it is easy to focus on one thing, but neglect the core issue driving that "one thing." My approach is one of "partnering" with the client. Not leading, not following, but walking with you as you rediscover your true self, and then seek to find internal balance which leads to a more productive and fulfilled lifestyle. I consider it a great privilege when someone trusts me enough to share at the level necessary to effect life changes, and I believe that confidentiality is the bedrock of therapy.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dolores Walker. 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.
Dolores offers different perspectives and keeps teaching or showing me that the world is vast. Also, she would recognize problems I didn't know existed. I love that she would also offer multiple approaches to a problem.

I have been working with DJ over the last 7 months, and can say she has done a brilliant job at helping me work through mental struggles over this time, and guiding me on coping with external pressures that previously led to situational depression. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, friendly, knowledgeable and nurturing therapist!
