These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Veronica Martin-Perkins. 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.
I had my reservations and doubts about finding a good fit through BetterHelp.
Dr. Martin-Perkin’s has been the best fit. She listened until I finished telling her why I was seeking support. She patiently listened during our first initial session even after I talked nonstop and took longer than our scheduled time.
She validated my concerns and has thus far given me insight I could NOT have accomplished on my own. She provided homework and held me accountable for doing my part in this long journey towards healing.
