These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Valerie Werner. 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 Werner is compassionate and caring. While offering times to laugh when appropriate and needed. She is exactly what I was hoping to find. Someone who will listen and understand but also not sugar coat and have the difficult conversations.

I met with Dr. Werner when I was in an extremely low place and talking to her helped me identify the positives in life. Her advice and assistance greatly lifted my mood and I am grateful for our conversations. I am appreciative of the time she takes to understand my feelings and help me figure out how I can overcome the issues I am facing.
