Valerie has had compassion for my situation and given incredible guidance that has made an immense difference in just three sessions. I could not be more grateful for the help and support she has provided me!

I’ve found Valerie McFarland to be very beneficial to my therapeutic process and journey of self discovery. She has provided a kind ear to my concerns and valuable insights into my situation. I feel that her personal and professional experiences, distilled through her approach to therapy, gives her a unique perspective amongst the therapist I’ve encountered. She has helped me to address my responsibilities and my productivity has increased in a healthy manner. She has helped me find my ability to express some of my feelings and ideas that I previously couldn’t articulate. Regardless of any other services from BetterHelp, my therapeutic sessions with Valerie are worth the subscription cost.
