I could not have asked for a better therapist. Valerie always helps me with the abuse I’ve endured and has helped me heal from it. She will ask me questions that make me process the answer to reveal the truth behind it. Yes she challenges me-but in the end it always makes me smile. With Valerie’s help I can actually smile and enjoy my new life! Thank you BetterHelp for giving me the perfect therapist for me!
