These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Marilyn Ternay. 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.
Dr. Ternay has been an incredible support for me. I have never felt as seen or understood by a therapist in my 15+ years of mental health counseling. She challenges me when needed and listens to understand, truly understand, what is going on so we can get to the root cause of an issue. I am so glad we were matched with each other, and continually grateful for her guidance, experience, candidness, and all around care.

Dr. Ternay is a breath of fresh air. I've been to therapy before, but it was in a small town, felt very biased and judgy. Not with Dr. Ternay. She listens, tries to figure me out, which I have to give props to because I can't even figure me out.
I'm really looking forward to this and I am so happy I decided to take the step.
