I can’t begin to describe how amazing my experience has been with Dr. Lewallen !

She has made such a significant impact in my life and how I approach the therapeutic process.

When I first met Gina, I was hesitant. A previous experience with another specialist had left me guarded and unsure. But Gina? She completely changed the game. From day one, she exceeded every expectation I had—and then some.
Gina became a true light during one of the darkest times in my life. Her support didn’t stop when our sessions ended. Even on days we didn’t meet, she would check in with thoughtful messages, offering encouragement and reminding me I wasn’t alone. That kind of care is rare.
I’m still navigating the tough stuff, but knowing Gina is in my corner makes all the difference. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without her.

Dr. Lewallen is very helpful. I feel no judgement and very supported while I work on my mental health issues. I don't feel like my words can describe it well. Being able to talk without feeling judged and being heard is amazing. It feels good. She is great at this.

Dr. Lewallen is amazing. So knowledgeable, understanding and encouraging.
Written on Sep 22, 2025 after therapy with Jina for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and adhd
I started using better help and was matched with Dr. Lewallen. I've been in therapy previously for PTSD and ADHD respectively. I am not an easy person to deal with but I am aware of that.
Dr. Lewallen has been helping me to navigate a very serious very stressful situation in my life that I felt I was not doing well dealing with all my own. She repeats things but phrases them different which is what ADHD brains need lol. She doesn't seem to lose patience with me when I'm super anxious and having a hard time. I learn well with written assignments I'm just slow about it because I'm dyslexic and she is never made me feel bad about taking my time to do things.
This entire experience has been incredibly helpful and I feel like I have some new skills and I've made some new progress in my growth. I think I prefer talking to Dr. Lewallen using better help much more than any other therapy sessions that I have done previously.
Being able to text throughout the week in between sessions has been immensely helpful with keeping me from being overwhelmed and stuck in my head. She always answers me within a few hours with better solutions or suggestions or encouragement. That has been invaluable to me. When I get through this and the dust settles I can absolutely say I would be happy to come back and work on some other things that I have stagnated in. I stopped therapy when I was told that I had gone far enough that my meds were enough for me to live a relatively normal life. It was just really uncomfortable and I didn't like having to go across town and take time off work and all the other little nuanced things that would make somebody with PTSD uncomfortable. This has not been a struggle at all for me, well the situation that I'm working through has but therapy has not.
I am very grateful better help exist and I am very grateful for Dr. Lewallen.

Dr. Lewallen quickly got up to speed on the concerns with which I was struggling. She asked all the right questions, and was compassionate and professional throughout each and every session. She also has reached out to me between sessions, to check in with me and send encouraging messages. Considering the limitations of participating in therapy through written communication and/or telehealth sessions, I would say Dr. Lewallen would be an excellent fit for anyone needing emotional support, guidance, and the wisdom of a seasoned mental health professional.

Dr. Lewallen is the best therapist I have ever had and I have had a lot of therapists. Lol I might add, that is after only 2 sessions. She is extremely attentive, informative, generous w her knowledge and sends me homework to work on. Immediate and constructive feedback. Goes out of her way to let me know she is listening. None of this “how does that make you feel.”
Dr. Lewallen is professional, caring, very intelligent and in my opinion, an expert in her field. I am extremely grateful I found her.
