She’s a great listener but also gives insight perspectives.

Valerie‘s expertise, care, empathy, and encouragement has been huge in my life. She took me from the original reason why I sought BetterHelp out, which was a huge burden of caring in relationships. I’ve grown so much from the therapy sessions and Valerie‘s suggestions, worksheets, and other things. She also reminds me to take care of me for my own self-help and well-being. I’m not one to do that, not on purpose, but I do it. She has grown me in the respect of looking towards things that make me happy and fulfill me that I’ve been putting on the side because I’ve been “too busy. “ She’s shown me how important it is for me to take care of myself, and also to live life in the fullest and to make time for what fulfills me as the loving, joyful, and giving person that I am And in the process has grown my faith through multiple ways. I sincerely thank GOD for her in my life and for BetterHelp. You are a special gift.

Highly recommend Valerie Malicki. She is kind, professional and excellent at what she does. I felt comfortable immediately and felt that she truly cared about my well being.

I have been working with Valerie for one year now consistently. I feel so seen and heard by her. She is kind and calming and an impeccable active listener. I’ve never stuck with therapy for an entire year straight and I believe I have this time because she made it so worthwhile and helped me grow.
