These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Omowumi Idowu. 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.
It's not just about being school ready. It's about listening to the purpose of creating a world where healing from trauma is a real thing. My heart is less stressed and I am more calm because I realise I have tools and skills to help me understand

Wumi has been very understanding, professional and caring since day 1. I have been to therapy before and I have not felt the need to start again with Wumi, she has understood me at the point of where I am in life right now. Her years of experience shows when you are with her.

Omowumi has been very helpful in helping me process childhood trauma, family relationships, parenting and breaking cycles. I look forward to my sessions where she offers perspectives that connect how the mix of my life experiences has culminated into more recent painful issues. These issues had felt insurmountable recently. But with her help, I now feel capable of acknowledging the complexity of each person’s life circumstances and more accepting of limitations or and with family members. I’m even newly hopeful of the future of these relationships with this type of help to deconstruct, connect the dots, understand, empathize.

Wumi helped me greatly with the issues I faced at work by advising me to take the first step of speaking to my management about issues I was facing and appropriate steps to protect myself from being taken advantage of such as setting boundaries. She is very patient and listened thoroughly to the issues and concerns I was facing, making sure to cover all grounds of how I was feeling.
She would also make sure to check in with me on how things were going and is very responsive.
Overall my experience with her was fantastic and I would highly recommend Wumi.
