These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Vanessa Heim. 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.
She is very responsive, understanding of my issues, and takes the time to get to know how I learn and what kind of tools work for me. She's very genuine and I feel so comfortable talking through things with her.
