These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Pa Vang. 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.
Very professional and understand what I need when I ask her, whether just listening to me vent, or doing the talking to guide me. Very compassionate and understanding. Follows up with me if she hasn’t heard from me for a bit. She cares

She's a very good listener. She also has helped me find my voice. I often don't stand up for myself with others or have the confidence to make changes in my life. She's helping me with that.

It's early in my therapy, but as we've met 3x, Dr. Vang has allowed me to express my concerns and what my initial focus was, while encouraging me to expand my goals to include the core of repeat therapy over the years. She's encouraged me to get to the center, learn why, redirect and heal. I'm a work in progress and as anything that's worth having, I have to put in the effort. Dr. Vang is my guide and provides structure and redirection. She allows me to carry the stones away from the wall I'd built and spend as much time chipping away at each as I need without getting lost or feeling like I'm carrying the same ones back and forth. Dr. Vang helps me to find my inner empowerment. To truly build belief and confidence where there was very little. One day, I will be able to get beyond that wall. Until then, I'm thankful for Dr. Vang's encouragement, sometimes hard questions, and her presence as she guides me on this journey to healing and acceptance.

Dr Vang is a skilled therapist. She is excellent at listening to You and not projecting what she thinks is the problem. She really embodies the concept of allowing you to become conscious of yourself to move you through therapy instead of jamming trendy strategies into play. I appreciate her insight and her vast knowledge of the mind.

It was my first time in therapy and I wasn’t sure how it would go. I just want to say thank you very much to Dr. Vang for being a therapist that I could relate too. She helped me work through things I haven’t told anyone before. I felt heard, validated, and encouraged in my sessions with her.
