Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sherilyn Allen. 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 found her to be understanding and encouraging, not afraid to be truthful with me even when it was hard for me to receive her words. I enjoyed my time with her, and grew significantly.

Thanks for being an attentive and responsive listener.

Written on Apr 30, 2022 after therapy with Sherilyn for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue

I am a returning client of Dr. Allen’s. Dr. Allen encountered me during a season of homelessness, brokenness, and at a time where I just needed to talk. Dr. Allen immediately used her resources to help me find a safer and better place to stay. Even though I was not always in a place to listen, I was very grateful to know my options and that someone cared enough to do so. I highly recommend Dr. Allen especially if you are searching for someone who can identify with your Christian values and hold you accountable to victory we have by way of the word of G-d. I am just starting my journey to take care of mental health, I wish you well as you do the same. Peace & Blessings!

Dr. Allen is AMAZING. She is kind, caring, a great listener and completely places me at ease during our meetings. She gives great actionable to do’s and is able to change the session on a whim based on what is going on with me that day.
