Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lorena Allen. 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.

Lorena was attentive, kind, respectful and gave me such insight. She listened, truly card and could really give me the confidence and tools I needed to move towards our next session.
