Finding the right therapist is usually said to be somewhat of a shopping experience but I had the blessing of being paired with Dr. Christophe right away! Her style works very well for me, she has a way of challenging you to think in a way that you're almost answering your own queries. She then applies her extensive knowledge to help you tie everything together very seamlessly. I'm very happy with Dr. Christophe, in just 5 months she has helped me unload so much that I feel like I've shed a whole layer of past trauma. Highly recommend.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

On top of a couple great laughs I’m getting the help that I desperately need and I’m starting to feel like the person I once was. Through time I do believe that I’m going to be exactly where I want to be and I wouldn’t be able to do it without BetterHelp
Very Understanding and respectful
Dr. Christophe is a fantastic therapist.
This was my first-time trying therapy and wasn't sure what to expect. Dr Christophe is great at listening to and understanding what's going on and for me having someone to listen to and remember what I had to say was important. She was great about not always telling me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. I needed that from someone who was detached from all situations but took the time to understand the situations before commenting.
She listens and advices well.
She the best
Perfectly balanced between all the things I need in a therapist!
Amazing therapist. I would highly recommend her. She listens and helps you think through your thoughts and feelings.
I am new with Dr. Christophe and already impressed with my overall experience. I am excited to continue working together to me my goals! I appreciate her focused listening and proactive, assertive direction!
She’s a great listener and offers thoughtful advice.
Dr Christophe has been very helpful and very encouraging a supportive of the things currently going on in my life. I was definitely skeptical of reaching out for help she has made this experience very easy and comfortable. I will definitely be continuing my sessions with Dr Christophe
I 100% highly recommend Dr. Virginia Christophe. She's been supportive and helpful for me in getting CLARITY on what I knew needed to happen. Relationships can be messy and having her presence and insight through this challenging time has been priceless. So grateful.
