These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monica Bowens. 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.
Monica has given me the tools to change my life! She helped me to figure out what exactly is it I need to change during a hopeless season in my life. She held me accountable for the things we decided I would work on. She’s soft spoken and calming but is still powerful with her impact. She challenges me and my thoughts and helps me to reframe negative situations and identify how to move forward.
She’s timely, organized and extremely responsive. I’m grateful for her beyond what she’s knows.

Very patient. Been seeing her 3 years. I was slow to warm up to CBT, but we got around to doing it and if effectively taught me coping skills that resulted in my high blood pressure being stabilized in the first time in two years, even with medication. Very helpful. She recommended I see a dr who can do both mental health Med management and physical, and I listened and I’m glad I did. It has been very helpful. I think she’s amazing.
