Working with Marie has been wonderful. She is a very empathetic and caring therapist. She always encourages me to stand my ground and care for myself. Marie is great at modeling confidence and self-acceptance, very encouraging and after just a few weeks, has greatly helped with my self-esteem. The intensity of inner child work has a softer edge thanks to Marie’s consistent care and support. I’m so grateful for the noticeable changes I’m making since starting to work with her and I’m excited to be free of more baggage I’ve carried around for too long.

Marie is simply amazing. I'm stubborn and hard headed, and she still finds a way to be patient and get through to me. She's consistent and actually makes you her center of attention. I'd happily recommend her to anyone

I am grateful for Marie's advice, breathing exercise techniques, practicing control centers and prayers. I love having a Christian therapist who listens and cares for my well-being.

Before my sessions with Marie I was in a tough place dealing with OCD. Most days I'd be so stuck in my own negative thoughts spiraling out of control leaving me confused and honestly scared. Things are getting much better! I still have moments when I get stuck like before but they are much less frequent and Marie is helping me learn how to get through it. I am very grateful to have been matched with Marie as my therapist. She is warm and kind. You can feel it during the sessions and when reading her reviews.

Marie is doing a great job with helping me to process my trauma, and teaching me skills to apply to my life, and difficult situations. I feel in many ways she goes above and beyond, and follows through on providing me with the tools/worksheets we discussed. She is very easy to talk to, and listens well to my concerns.

Marie is kind, knowledgeable, supportive, and everything you could want in a therapist to help you work through life’s challenges. She will hold you accountable while also holding space for your needs. She has a spirit that you cannot help but gravitate towards. I cannot recommend her enough!
Written on Nov 10, 2022 after therapy with Marie for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, and coaching
Marie truly cares, even in the face of chaos and grief and loss - and that is a rare gift. I cannot think of higher praise.

Marie has been instrumental in helping navigate my gender-affirming journey. Through the turbulent ups and downs of life, she is able to hone in on the issues and give concise, professional, and thought-provoking insights. Truly an LGBT ally and exceptional therapist. My favorite part is the control center, which has totally changed how I approach myself. I have found it to be wildly effective in mitigating anxiety. I cannot wait to see where we'll go next!
Written on Nov 01, 2022 after therapy with Marie for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety
I’m having a hard time writing a review about Marie. There is way too many positive things I can say to fit in just a short review
Here it goes though…. The help, professional love and support I receive from her is so profound and has helped me better myself in more ways than I can express. By the grace of God and the universe we were matched 7 weeks ago through this app and even tho it is a short time, my life has drastically changed with her support and guidance. I look forward to the future now, I have found love and peace now. She has and continues to help me accept, love and appreciate myself and honor and also heal from my past. I highly recommend this kick ass woman. She’s professional, compassionate, relatable and loving.
Thank you Marie
And
Thank you all for taking the time to read my review
Much love and blessings to all

Marie, is extremely responsive and cares deeply about her clients. I've learned a lot and she gives practical advice and techniques to help with dealing with anxiety. I've enjoyed our therapy sessions and would recommend her services to anyone dealing with trauma and anxiety.

Marie has been so helpful with my anxiety. She really takes the time (and extra time whenever she has it) to really make you feel important. As a Christian, it is very important to me that I have a counselor I can pray with. She definitely speaks from the heart of Jesus and I am so grateful He brought us together. Thank you for all your help, Marie.

I was hesitant at first with online therapy, but Marie quickly turned that around and we had an instant connection. She was able to actually hear me in a way that caught me off guard at first, but by the end of today’s session, has made me realize With her help my goals might actually be achievable! How freaking cool is that? I am excited to begin healing and learn new ways of dealing with my issues. I think this is gonna be awesome and I can’t wait until next session. i’m amazed this happened so seamlessly but then again things that were meant to happen will do that. I found my therapist on the first attempt and we are going to do awesome work together!!! I know it.

She is absolutely amazing and has helped us out so much! Without her help, I am not sure where we would be! I love her wit, her kindness and her spunk!
Written on Aug 01, 2022 after therapy with Marie for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, and self esteem
Marie has taught me new ways of coping with depression, anxiety, and grief. The Control Center practice helped me connect with my inner child which helped me feel higher levels of beautiful emotions like hope & peace. While at the same time decreasing levels of grief specifically. As a visual person, this was super effective. Having a safe space to visualize and come back to has also been helpful in times of stress and anxiety. The quotes are also great reminders for me to carry throughout the day/week.

Marie has truly been a blessing in my life. Absolutely amazing and while some sessions are tougher than others most days I feel like I'm talking to family. So grateful to be matched with Marie.

Marie has been a big party of my life she has helped me in my road to graduate my therapy sessions. She listens and understand and treats her clients like family. Marie has taught me the control center which is a big part of my life and it helps me with relaxing and my anxiety. She’s the best and I appreciate her so much for helping with everything.

In the beginning I was very unsure of using online therapy. Marie was my therapist & did an excellent job at drawing me right into comfortable conversation with her such that i quickly felt inclined to share my situation w her. She provided me w "tools" I needed to get me moving in a direction of healing when I felt there was none. Marie takes action to help and guide me to promote self healing and awareness of inner needs. She put forth so much effort & even went above & beyond expectations to help when I needed it most. Her contact w me was consistent and dependable. A helpful and enlightening experience.

The Christian counseling I was looking for ♥️
Written on Jun 28, 2022 after therapy with Marie for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting issues
Marie is such a sincere therapist, I could not ask for a better fitting therapist for me. I am so grateful to have been able to work with her. I felt understood, heard and cared for. She created a safe space where we can talk without inhibitions. And now I feel like I have better tools to regulate my emotions and feel more at peace compared to before. I would definitely recommend her to others who are considering BetterHelp/therapy and worried about being judged or not understood. She is an empathetic healer and I would recommend her to many. Thank you so much, Marie, for setting me up for success in my next journey.

I've only had a few sessions with Marie so far but I love her! Already I can tell how much she cares and how driven she is in her line of work. I'm excited to continue my sessions with her!

I never write reviews but I think it's important for others to know when a truly gifted Therapist comes along. I've seen other counselors and therapists over the years and continued to struggle because I didn't feel heard, understood, and the time and space between appointments was too long for the immediate help I felt I needed for those particular struggles. With the BetterHelp platform I was matched with Mary Van Patten within 24 hours. I cannot give enough accolades to her for her dedication to helping me make it through a very difficult time. She is the most thoughtful therapist I've ever known and has so much wisdom and experience on all my trauma. This is so helpful to feel heard and finally breathe because her validation has helped me not feel alone. I have been spoiled with helpful links, homework, fast replies, and most important of all I feel extremely safe talking to her. She has been fluid in what works for me and messaging feels comfortable and real. I can see light at the end of the tunnel. That says it all, I think. Thank you Mary. Thank you BetterHelp.
