These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Shelia Lumar. 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 have only been with Dr. Lunar for a month, but I feel like I've known her for years. I feel like she genuinely cares about me and treats me with like family. I am excited about my future and know that Dr. Lumar will help me grow towards the peace I need.

Dr. Lumar is one of the best therapists I have ever had. She is kind, patient and empathetic while still pushing me to work through the things I need to work through. Our time together is always so valuable and anyone would be lucky to have her.

Dr. Lumar is absolutely fantastic. She is the consummate professional, and I have been pleasantly surprised at how great she has been. Far and above many other professionals I’ve spoken with. Highly educated, very easy to speak with, extremely extremely professional, and just a blessing to have. I cannot think her enough.
