What My Clients Say
Testimonials
I have been seeing Laura for almost an entire year now, and she has got to be the absolute best therapist I have ever had. She has provided me a safe space to open up about some of the most difficult experiences in my life and never pressured me to share anything with her until I was ready. Thanks to Laura’s support, my confidence, self-esteem, and overall happiness have significantly improved, more than I thought they ever would. I am so thankful to have had the pleasure to work with her.
For years, anxiety controlled my life. But working with Laura has been a game-changer. They helped me understand my triggers and develop coping mechanisms that actually work. Now, I don’t let anxiety hold me back anymore. I feel so much calmer and more in control. Thank you, Laura!
I have been seeing Laura for at least 6 months now and she is one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. We started on Better Help and I followed her to her practice. Within a few sessions I was already starting to feel hopeful about improving myself for the long term. Thanks to her, my confidence has greatly improved and I’ve learned plenty of ways to cope with life’s challenges.
I had my first session yesterday (1/10/2023) and I am impressed. This state of being impressed didn’t begin, however, at our first meeting, it began when I received a questionnaire asking me poignant questions to include what are my goals and what will my life look like once my goals are accomplished. In all my years of seeking advice from professionals to assist me with life’s curve balls, this is the first time I’ve received such. Further, I am impressed by how relatable and honest Dr. Valdes-Borsum is. So many times therapists seem aloof and distant from my life and situation, which created a barrier immediately in terms of a true comfort level. Thank you Doc!
I have been seeing Laura for almost 2 years now, first on Better Help and now at her private practice. I have seen many therapists on Better Help and also outside of it, but Laura has by far been the best. From the beginning she was giving me helpful tools and resources to cope with my issues, and she has always been respectful and kind when I’ve shared my most difficult memories with her. It was scary at first, but Laura truly made me feel like I was safe with her, always thanking me for sharing and never pressuring me to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. She is understanding, compassionate, and overall a great therapist. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has helped me through.

From the beginning, I felt welcomed and understood. Her compassionate and non-judgmental approach instantly put me at ease, allowing me to open up and explore my deepest emotions and experiences. Laura’s deep understanding of anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma has been instrumental in helping me unravel the complexities of my past and develop healthier coping mechanisms. She tailors each session to my specific needs, providing me with practical tools and strategies that I can apply in my daily life. I am continually impressed by Laura’s ability to listen attentively and provide insightful feedback. She has a remarkable way of asking the right questions and challenging me to think differently, leading to profound self-discovery and personal growth. Her genuine care and unwavering support have been a constant source of strength throughout my therapeutic journey. Thanks to Laura’s expertise and guidance, I have made significant progress in managing my anxiety, overcoming depression, and healing from childhood trauma.

Laura has been a gift to me as I do the heavy work of dying. She has gently helped me find ways to make reconciliations with myself and others and she has helped me accept the things I cannot change. This has given me great relief and peace of mind. Thank you, Laura, for your kind support and guidance.
I’ve been with Laura for two weeks, and I can say that the changes that have already taken place in my life are beyond what I imagined possible. She’s very attentive, she’s supportive, and she makes me feel validated. Laura is amazing!
I have only had a few sessions with Laura, but so far things are going well. She’s very attentive and responsive, and understands that the things people share in therapy are not easy to share. So far, she often is telling me “Thank you for sharing that with me.” This is not my first time in therapy, so I don’t mind sharing most things with therapists, but it’s comforting and validating to know that she takes your mental health seriously.
I’ve had a great experience with Laura and BetterHelp! Laura is very kind and she thoughtfully responded to all of my anxieties and concerns over several months. Thank you Laura!

Laura is absolutely fantastic! She cares so much and wants to make sure that I am successful with whatever I’m working on. I was a little nervous when I first started therapy because I really didn’t know what to expect, but Laura put me at ease and made my therapy a really great experience. I cannot give enough praises to her for helping me!
She is a great listener. I feel heard whenever we speak. I love that she encourages me to write about any and everything throughout the week and makes herself available to respond. I have already started exploring areas in my life that I didn’t even realize I needed work on. I actually enjoy going to therapy every week.
Laura is really helping work through navigating life. She works with me to understand what my challenges are that week and then she offers me a different perspective than I have considered. One thing I really enjoy about working with Laura is that I feel as though she’s not just helping resolve issues, she’s helping me live a happier life.
