“Allen and our session have transformed my life. Thank you Allen and Better Help. I was literally on the verge of being suicidal, struggling with addiction and have major relationship issues. The sessions revealed to me how my priorities could change and how to balance myself. Usinf the strategies and advise of my therapist have lead to a closer relationship with my children, family and romantic partner.”

“Allen is an incredible therapist—patient, knowledgeable, and always neutral in his approach. He creates a safe, supportive space where I feel truly heard. He goes above and beyond to offer guidance and clarity, and his calm, thoughtful presence has been incredibly helpful on my journey. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you. Talking to someone really helps.”

“Excellent counselor - truly thinks about what the client is voicing.”

“A good friend, and a great listener. He’s been helping me get through the first few therapy sessions and doing a lot in the process. I really appreciate Allen.”

“We are making progress, I enjoy working with Allen and feel we are making progress”

“Mr. Allen is an exceptional couples therapist. His warm and empathetic approach created a safe space for my partner and I to openly communicate and address our challenges. He skillfully guided us through difficult conversations, providing valuable insights and practical tools to improve our relationship. Thanks to Mr. Allen's expertise, we've strengthened our bond, improved our communication, and rediscovered the love and connection we thought we had lost. We are incredibly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any couple seeking to enhance their relationship.”

“The best I've ever experience so far.”

“Dr. Boateng has been very professional and made insightful connections between my multiple concerns and has helped me view things from multiple perspectives that help me understand and think through my current challenges better. I appreciate the fact that he is a Christian and is able to relate with me on that level as well.”

“Allen is a neutral! I feel like he’s balanced and during our first call called both, both me and my husband out. It really created trust and made me feel optimistic that he can help us sort through our gaps.”

“My time with Allen changed me as a person, and I’m better for it. I’ll always appreciate the work we did together.”

“So comfortable to talk to”

“After three sessions, I have the sense Allen is a consummate professional and one who is capable of delving into deep topics, without fear and with good focus and keeping it comfortable but capable.”

“Dr. Allen is honestly the best person to talk to about anything going on in your life. He's super supportive and non-judgmental, and even though that's what you'd expect, I haven't found anyone I could relate to as well as him before.<br /> <br /> Right from the first session, I felt comfortable sharing stuff about my life, which was a huge relief. Sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed, having someone like him to talk to has been amazing because at first I would struggle finding who to run to with my stress. <br /> Over the past four months, I have felt more heard than I have ever been in most of my adult life.<br /> <br /> Dr. Allen doesn't just listen; he gives me real life advice to help me handle my challenges better. I don't feel like I'm talking to a robot in a chair or someone who is just paid to be there, I truly believe he is Godsent. He is consistently supportive and genuinely cares, which makes me feel understood, seen and valued. <br /> <br /> He is definitely someone to talk to! !”

“As we have worked together Allen has both intently listened to my concerns and actively challenged me to grow via thoughtful introspection, which is resulting in immediately impactful progress.”
