These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cathleen Menda. 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.
So far I have had three sessions with Cathleen and she has been wonderful in helping me navigate my own feelings and just letting me feel heard ane providing me a safe space not only to vent my emotions or frustrations for a particular situation but to remember to embrace the good when life tests you. Life is about balance and Cathleen helps guide this with patience and compassion.

She’s a great therapist and stern at times but very chill.
