These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Arleen Atkins. 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.
Great listener and lovely person!

Dr. Atkins is wonderful. She respects my boundaries and gently challenges me if I need it. I recently took a break from therapy and went back to her, and she remembered every detail of our conversations down to my child’s name. She truly cares, and brings lots of calm and rationality to my life.

In the short time we have worked together, Dr. Atkins has been incredibly helpful. I have been to many therapists throughout my life and generally stopped because it did not seem beneficial. Dr. Atkins is amazing, and I am so glad I found her.

Dr. Atkins is the first therapist I’ve felt comfortable with in a long time. She is careful to listen, compassionate, inquisitive and very insightful. I look forward to continuing therapy with her. Thank you, Dr. Atkins, for all that you do.

Dr. Atkins has become my strongest ally. She listens to me and helps me determine my true concerns and issues and then offers me realistic methods of resolving them. I often have doubts about making important decisions and she helps me to think my options through clearly and from all perspectives until i am confident in my decisions and then we make a plan of action to follow through with them. She is very result driven in her method of therapy and that is what i find most helpful for me. I highly reccomend her as a therapist.
