These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for April Vandiver. 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 very much appreciate April’s attention to detail and her awareness of my affect. She has a positive attitude and and understanding of the impacts of life’s hardships. She helps in creating realistic and attainable small goals to help me work toward a desired outcome, even when my path is a little off she helps me focus in the right direction of self-awareness, self-reflection, and control or lack thereof and how to handle challenges and maintain my own boundaries, integrity, and self-worth.

April has been incredible with helping me work through some big issues that were getting in the way of me being able to be happy with myself and working on inner peace. I’ve worked with other therapists before and I feel like she’s been the only one that really listened to what I needed and she’s always, from day 1, been a great advocate of me and my well being.

April has been a blessing in my corner as I work through my emotions. She is a great listener and provides gentle guidance as I get stuck in some areas. Each day we talk I feel like I get closer to healing my pain and regaining confidence.

I’ve only been seeing April for 2 weeks and she has been amazing. I was very low after a lot of major life changes and therapy with her has been invaluable. I’m already feeling better and am confident it’s all up hill from here thanks to April!
