Catovia Rayner is professional while still relatable in a more casual setting. She's able to listen and make suggestions without making me feel judged. She also provides several different suggestions so that we can figure out which mental tool works best for me.

Catovia is exactly what my nervous system needs to manage day to day. I can't thank her enough for her wisdom, affirmations, and efforts that have made me see the other side of pain after each session. She's truly a gift.

Cat is empathetic and a wonderful listener. She intuitively knows when to keep our sessions more lighthearted and also when I need space to cry freely. She has seen the depths of my anxiety and the vulnerability of my position at any given point in the year we've been meeting. I am always met with great care. I am so grateful for her help.

Cat has been pretty amazing this far. I’m a newer patient, and she made me feel very welcomed and at ease. 3000% a safe space. Great listener, really helps me stay accountable, and it might seem silly but I love that she sends me worksheets! Taking time, even if it’s only here and there through the busy work week to keep working on myself has been extremely helpful in keeping perspective in stressful situations and big corporate girl feelings!!

From the first session, Catovia makes the environment feel safe and calm, where I can open up and share my concerns, struggles and questions. The sessions are timely, the interaction online is well structured and easy to navigate.
I receive information worksheets as homework to complete, which provide additional support information for the topic discussed in a certain session. Catovia follows up with an encouraging message asking me feedback about the worksheets I just completed and if I have follow up questions.
I made the right choice in reaching out to BetterHelp for support in this area of my life.

Ms. Rayner is an absolute sweet-heart. Professional but doesnt make you feel small in any way, very down to Earth and feels like you are simply keeping accountability with a friend. Thank you for being such a joyful person and providing me tools to get through this rough patch, I don't want to ever be in the same position, but if I do I will certainly feel better equipped. I put off seeing a therapist for the bad rap it has been given, but this was completely the opposite. I felt encouraged, loved, and that I was given attainable goals and very practical steps to walk through this time! Thank you, you are a blessing Ms. Rayner!

She is absolutely fantastic! Very caring. Good at getting to the root of the issue and asking thoughtful, well timed questions. The questions help identify unhealthy patterns in the moment and provide helpful ways to correct and improve.

Catovia is amazing. She is extremely warm, kind and empathetic. She is probably the best listener I've ever had the pleasure of meeting but also balances that so well with an ability to ask very thoughtful follow-up questions, offer new perspectives, challenge my thinking in ways that are positive and beneficial...and so much more! Anybody would be very lucky to have Catovia as their therapist.
