- “Valerie is a great pattern finder. She is knowledgeable and does an amazing job listening and suggesting solutions. She is awesome”
- “Valerie‘s expertise, care, empathy, and encouragement has been huge in my life. She took me from the original reason why I sought BetterHelp out, which was a huge burden of caring in relationships. I’ve grown so much from the therapy sessions and Valerie‘s suggestions, worksheets, and other things. She also reminds me to take care of me for my own self-help and well-being. I’m not one to do that, not on purpose, but I do it. She has grown me in the respect of looking towards things that make me happy and fulfill me that I’ve been putting on the side because I’ve been “too busy. “ She’s shown me how important it is for me to take care of myself, and also to live life in the fullest and to make time for what fulfills me as the loving, joyful, and giving person that I am And in the process has grown my faith through multiple ways. I sincerely thank GOD for her in my life and for BetterHelp. You are a special gift.”
- “I feel better about myself. I am somebody. I do deserve to be happy again.”
- “Highly recommend Valerie Malicki. She is kind, professional and excellent at what she does. I felt comfortable immediately and felt that she truly cared about my well being.”
