These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mariangela Weiskopf. 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.
Navigating being a single parent and a complicated custody situation has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through, and finding a therapist who truly gets it felt impossible — until I started working with Mariangela.
She doesn’t just sit back and nod. She listens with empathy, offers real perspective, and gives me tools I can actually use in the middle of the chaos. She understands the emotional layers of coparenting with a high-conflict ex, the toll it takes on your nervous system, and the balance between protecting your kids and not losing yourself in the process.
What I appreciate most is that she’s both validating and direct — she doesn’t sugarcoat things, but she delivers hard truths in a way that still feels supportive. I leave every session feeling clearer, more grounded, and more capable of handling whatever comes next.
If you’re going through divorce, custody battles, or just trying to rebuild your life after a really heavy chapter, I can’t recommend Mariangela enough. She’s been an anchor through a storm I didn’t think I could weather.

Mariangela has been my therapist for 3 + years, and is hands down the best therapist that I have ever had in my life. I am a therapist myself, so I’m very aware of what it takes to be an excellent therapist that checks off in all the boxes. And yes, therapists need to have therapists of their own too! I highly recommend Mariangela for anybody in need of a therapist at this time. She’s the best!
Thank you Mariangela.
