These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Denine Virgil. 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.
Therapy with Denine has restored my faith in therapy. She is kind, listens, and she’s honest. She provides a different point of view helping me to see the bigger picture and not just my tunnel vision. Talking with Denine makes me feel like I’ve known her my whole life. While it is just therapy, since I’ve started the week’s that we don’t meet doesn’t feel right. I always look forward to our sessions. Overall, I am happy that I’ve started using BetterHelp and even happier that I was paired with Denine. Thank you so much for helping me to get through my difficult season.
