These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Valeri Bennett. 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.
Valeri is an amazing therapist that takes the time to listen to me, is honest and doesn’t try and just make me “feel better”, and is continuing to guide me through this journey of healing. I am very grateful for her so far throughout this process.
