Cara has been helping me navigate through one of the most difficult family challenges I have ever encountered. I am so thankful for her support, help and expert advice. I feel so comfortable talking to her. It’s like have a LMHC as a friend. She is amazing at what she does and I appreciate how she goes about it. Better Help is lucky to have her on their team.

Cara is absolutely amazing! She helps me work through issues in life one at a time so that I can get to the root of things. She also listens to me and what I need and offers me real advice that will help my situation and mindset. She's super sweet, but very straightforward, and she always makes sure I'm comfortable with executing the solutions she gives me.
