These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Lawana Mabry. 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.
Working with Dr. Mabry as my therapist has truly been a life changing experience. From the very first session, her warmth and attentive listening created a safe space where I felt completely heard and understood. Her empathy is genuine and she doesn’t just listen, she connects on a deep level and helps me see things from a healthier, more empowering perspective.
What I appreciate most is her ability to guide me toward my personal goals without judgment or pressure. She ALWAYS asks the right questions, offers thoughtful insights, and encourages growth in a way that feels natural and achievable. Each session leaves me feeling more confident, centered, and hopeful.
If you’re looking for a therapist who truly cares, listens with intention, and helps you make meaningful progress toward your goals, I can’t recommend Dr. Mabry enough. She has been an incredible support on my journey of grief, healing and self discovery!
