These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Whitney Wanderscheid. 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.
Whitney is a very patient and supportive therapist. she allows me the time to get out what i am trying to see and understands me or makes suggestions. She responds quickly and insightfully to messages. She has helped and guided me through a very tough time in my life.
