Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sara Adkins. 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.
Sara has been amazing since we are still in the introductory phase of therapy. She is easily adaptable especially working with families and understands the role of a mother, wife, etc. She is personable, relatable, and knows how to remain neutral with only hearing on side of a story.

I have just had a few sessions with Sara so far. I feel heard and respected. I felt a ready and easy connection. Her inquiry and exploration with me is specific and gentle, I’m hopeful that with her help, that I am finally going to be able to tease apart long-standing issues. I’m looking forward to making progress and growth.
