Loren is awesome. She lets you say what you want to no judgment. She's relaxed, really listens and has a great sense of humor. She guides you to what may help whatever you are struggling with wise advice and worksheets. I highly recommend Loren to everyone!

Loren has been like a breath of fresh air. She allows me to express myself and help me understand the feelings I'm feeling in during the most difficult moments. I really look forward to our meetings because she definitely has helped me stay more grounded. Before betterhelp.com there was constant confused and lost feeling. Loren is helping me tremendously!

Loren is an empathetic listening ear and provides actionable advice and I appreciated that she made Christian spiritual practice recommendations along with the standard recommendations. She did so in a respectful way by asking me first. I had previously indicated that I wanted a therapist who was in the same general faith tradition I am and so this wasn't out of the blue.
