These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Nkem Anene. 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.

Never thought I would ever go to therapy, since I’ve decided to go and I will tell I feel so much better all thanks to Dr Anene for guiding through this process of becoming the better me.

I have enjoyed working with Dr. Anene - she has helped me through many a tough season. She is empathetic while also being direct. Her style is perfect for someone who is ready to address their symptoms and behaviors.

I've had two sessions with Dr. Nkem Anene and look forward to working with her to address my current challenges. She is friendly, professional, and compassionate. I'm confident she'll provide the support and guidance I need now.

Dr. Anene is a great therapist who actively listens and tackles topics directly with care. She also communicates effectively and efficiently. She helped me unpack a lot and refocus my energy in positive activities. I was able to reclaim myself through consistent work and communication with Nkem, which prepared me to recognize a healthy relationship with equal reciprocation. I highly recommend Dr. Anene, especially if you are going through codependency and general relationship issues.

I always feel like I am talking with a friend instead of a therapist. I love that she listens to me and always shares a respectable perspective on how to move forward.
