These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sandra Owens. 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.
I appreciate the dialogue and direct style of communication.

Very thankful for Dr. Owens, she has a very understanding, calming, and reassuring presence about her. I truly look forward to talking her, every time I walk away feeling like I am on the right track, my problems seems more manageable, and I feel like she completely gets me and has my best interest in mind. In addition, she has offered great tips, apps, and insight.
