Carmen is a nice therapist. She messages me the worksheets in a timely manner. I’ve learned more about myself and what my problems are in therapy. I really like BetterHelp because of the worksheets.

Carmen is easy to talk to, non-judge mental, and meets you exactly where you are. I was scared to start therapy I actually cancelled a few times out of fear. She is personable, honest, and gives you real healing tools and practices.

Great so far only 2 sessions so far

Written on Aug 20, 2022 after therapy with Carmen for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and adhd

I am struggling to feel helped by Carmen. I tend to think of my mental health as a function of health as much as any other part of my body. It feels as if, were I to ask Carmen for suggestions on how to stop my feet from being blistered, her response would be "well feet get blistered sometimes " and give a worksheet about foot health. I would like more forthright information on how I can help her help me. She also habitually says "you know ". This annoys me. I don't know, thats why I'm asking you.
