These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Adam Dollen. 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.
Adam has helped me through conflicts I was having in my life at home. The strategies he has suggested have worked and I use them daily and will continue to use them in the future. He is a very good therapist.

Adam is very experienced and it shows with his understanding and explanations. Helped me understand there's always another side to things that I'm not thinking about. Very easy to talk to and I would recommend him to anyone looking for the same kind of help that I was.

Adam is kind and understanding. He lets me talk out what my issues are and we start tracing them back to the root of whatever the problem may be. I trust his knowledge. Every session I know I am building a better foundation for myself.
