These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Valerie Martin. 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.
Valerie is very kind, understanding and also keeps it very real. I appreciate unfiltered people, and her willingness to get right to the point.

Valerie is an incredible therapist. She's everything you would find in a compassionate, patient, competent professional plus so much more. She's gentle yet direct; she is soothing yet goal-oriented; highly intelligent yet very humble. I've found myself incredibly lucky to have been paired with such an amazingly supportive professional.
