Children, marriage, finances, relationships come with many challenges. You don't have to go it alone. Sometimes a friend or family can help, but sometimes you need a professional who can listen to your concerns in a different way and without the emotional baggage or feeling guilty that you are over burdening your family or friends. We can talk, video conference, chat, or message privately and confidentially without feeling judged.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Francine Odio. 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.
Dr. Odio is kind and understanding and a good listener. I would recommend her if you are struggling to find answers and strategies to help you cope with your situation.
