“I was hesitant to start therapy, but after my first session those fears disappeared. She’s been amazing at helping me understand myself step by step. I truly feel supported and know I’m in good hands.”

“Adriene has helped me when other mental health professionals gave up on me. She has helped me deal with some pretty difficult issues with care and compassion”

“Adriene has been a major reason on why my anger and anxiety have been changed. She makes me feel hear and helps me understand my patterns that hurt me. Truly the best therapist, I appreciate her and her methods so much!”

“I’ve had a few therapists, and after a while I realized they weren’t the right fit. That’s not the case here. As soon as I had my first session with Adriene, I knew she was someone I wanted to work with. I’ve been able to share the darkest moments of my life without feeling judged—something I held back from doing with previous therapists. She not only listens and gives me ways to work through my issues, but she also brings laughter into the sessions, which lightens things up when they get a little too tense, and I personally like that. She’s professional, communicates through the app, and provides insightful information.”

“Adriene is a great listener and keeps me grounded no matter how wound up I am when our sessions begin. She balances feedback and listening perfectly and I look forward to our sessions every week.”

“Absolutely amazing, they listen & provide me with unbiased feedback that is always helpful. they always make time for me where they can, and always provides me with open communication and support. they’ve changed my mind a lot about getting help and reaching out to someone for it. 100/10”

“I have worked with Adriene previously and she has been so helpful and understanding. The better health app connection is terrible though and I wasn’t able to have my session”

“I appreciate her”

“Adrienne has helped me so much. I just know there is so much more.”

“A true help, plain and simple”

“She is great!”

“Adriene has been a great therapist for the past two years I’ve been her patient. Her insights have helped guide me through very difficult personal decisions, as well as assisting me with healing childhood memories and trauma. I can truly say with Adriene’s support I’ve made great progress in my healing journey!”

“I found my session with Adrienne very helpful. I am open to more sessions with her.”

“I absolutely adore Adrienne she has helped me grow in tremendous ways in the few sessions we have and always makes me feel so comfortable and never makes me feel rushed. I’ve had some therapists before but none of them made me feel comfortable or safe to talk to or like they really cared about my main concerns but she listens to all and addresses all as well as telling me when I’m making progress which is super nice to hear I recomend her 100%”

“Good therapist”
