These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lara Waldenmaier. 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've only met with her once so far, but just by the initial meeting, I can tell she is excellent at what she does. She has made me feel comfortable and safe, and I strongly recommend her.

Lara is Great! She is very understanding, helpful and sends lot of useful tips to help me with my struggles. I was a little nervous about getting a therapist for obvious reasons and Lara has definitely changed my mind about it.
