These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sarah VanderZanden. 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.
Sarah is very down-to-Earth. She discusses situations that are occurring presently in my life, which is what I need. She is caring, remembers what is happening in her clients' lives, takes extra time with her patient(s) when needed and can always hold a meaningful, truly helpful and empowering conversation. I remember 2 weeks ago, I was thinking that I really did not know what to talk about. Right away, she asked some great questions and we had a deeply meaningful conversation. She is my 1st therapist and I couldnt be happier.
Because of her and her help,I have recommended "Better Help" to family and friends.
