These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Vanessa Ladnier. 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.
She’s very down to earth and warm. You don’t have to be afraid of oversharing. She’s genuinely relatable. Very knowledgeable about dealing with a variety of issues.
