These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Dr Viva White. 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 immediately felt comfortable with Dr. White. She was able to open my eyes to some hard truths about myself. She didn't judge me, but helped and encouraged me to make changes that would benefit me in the long run.

The first time I met Dr. White, it felt organically comfortable. She has a professional, yet casual demeanor and therapy style. She made me feel comfortable telling her what was on my mind and what areas of mental wellness I wanted to focus on. She has many years of professional expertise, materials, and recommendations for me to utilize as well as gives examples of different tactics she uses as an individual to cope and handle life situations. I plan to continue with Dr. White as my therapist for as long as I'm able to and have referred her to family members to help them with their mental wellness journey.
