These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kenya Evans-Pinckney. 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 wish there was a longer time slot. She is just so helpful. So kind.

Kenya is great, she makes me feel heard, she validates my feelings and helps me release all my pent up emotions. She allows me to speak without judgements, & I am glad I chose her as my therapist!

Kenya has been great. She’s listened to my experiences, concerns & struggles. She’s provided valuable feedback and has opened my eyes to a few things I wasn’t aware about myself. She’s also aided me by providing some very useful worksheets.

She was amazing, straightforward, honest and helpful. I felt supported and listened to. I wish I could keep seeing her as a counselor but unfortunately my schedule has changed. I can't recommend her enough, she really listens and offers constructive, thoughtful feedback when needed!

I've only had one session and it did so much good already. Suddenly after one discussion I felt safe and understood and like she really helped me ground myself in something practical to resolve my concern.
