Monica is a good listener and excels at asking questions. She does a good job at validating your experience but also pushes you when it is necessary. I feel seen and understood.

Ms.Monica Cowan is a gifted highly intelligent and sensitive therapist and a wonderful human being. The world IS a better place because of Monica and Better Help. I would engrave this on my tombstone.
Here are the outstanding traits that makes Ms. Monica Cowan a great gift to our lives.
1. She remembers my history of trauma as well as growth at an intimate level down to the emotions and connects the dots for me.
2. She is a constant reminder of how great listening and compassion is the key to being a professional.
3. She goes beyond her means to accommodate emergency sessions and messages when we give her a valid reason.
4. She helped me unearth who I could be and has guided me to find ways to self- regulate myself.
5. I feel like she sees me and accepts me for who I am . I have made many mistakes and hurt people in my life. She showed me how I could forgive myself without feeling like a surrender.
6. As a highly sensitive individual I would get offended by strangers and fools and it would make me lose momentum in my growth. But after my sessions with Monica I learned so much about the power of silence .
The beauty of her style of therapy is promising. She doesn’t give you homework or list of tricks like a social media post .. she followed a Socratic approach in helping me progressively arrive at strategies.
I came to Better Help with a distorted view of therapy as popularized by movies and Tv shows. It is not at all like that and Monica is such a strong source of hope , energy and courage.
I have been working with her for a year and keep detailed journals of my life . When I read those it shows how much work we have done together and the pivotal role Monica has been playing.
If you are looking for a therapist that accepts you and cares for you with the o it goal to walk along side you.. you found her. It’s a bonus that she has a soothing voice , and had a vibe that makes things lighter .
Ms. Monica Cowan is one of those people who I will never get to thank enough or well.
I wish her a fulfilling professional life. Kudos to Better Help for introducing us!

Monica has been an absolute blessing! She is compassionate and kindhearted while maintaining professionalism. I feel I can tell her anything and everything without judgement or worry. She listens to understand and provides helpful feedback with questions to provoke my thinking without pushing her thoughts or opinions. I have grown in many ways in the year plus I have been working with Monica and I know I put in a lot of work to get here but I firmly believe her assistance in achieving those accomplishments were instrumental! I am so grateful for her support over this time! I would recommend over and over!

I am warming up to online therapy. Many people gain more insights into others by nonverbal communication. I suspect this aids both the therapist and the client. Practicality is difficulty finding affordable in person (and affordable) therapy in my community. Monica appears empathetic and capable to work with me on my issues, and good quality video technology captures some nonverbal communication I value.

Monica has been extremely helpful and is a great listener. She has helped me identify problems/solutions just by allowing me to talk. I feel validated every time we meet. She is also great at asking the right questions that allow me to understand why I'm feeling the way I am. These issues that seemed insurmountable not too long ago now appear to have an end in sight. I'm truly grateful to have her as my therapist!

I highly recommend BetterHelp & wishing I had signed up sooner to this platform. I have this amazing renewed sense of hopefulness after just two sessions with Monica. She really listens and makes me feel comforted to have someone safe to confide in. I’m thankful I was matched so well with a therapist. I recommend highly both Monica & BetterHelp!

Monica has been so kind and thoughtful in her approach to my situation. She has offered insight and suggestions for me to work on. The only thing that I would like from her is a little more challenge to my way of thinking. I am fairly direct and I feel that she could be more direct and ask me more self reflective questions.

Monica has been a great support in my life - as I’ve grown older, my circle has naturally gotten smaller and she’s been someone who’s a cheerleader and empathetic towards what goes on in my life and in my head and has helped provide a 3rd person view on how to view the world and what I might want out of it. I would strongly recommend her

Monica has helped me change a lot of the way I think and process. She is an attentive and patient listener. She gives very helpful recaps of the topics we've discussed that day, as well as what might be beneficial to talk about next session as well. I highly recommend her and have gotten tons out of our time together!
