The key to effective therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. I strive to build an effective therapeutic relationship by building a safe and trusting environment that allows for open communication. I do this by creating a non-judgmental environment, in which people can work toward creating preferred changes in their lives.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist by training and am experienced in providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Craig Caspari. 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.
From the beginning Craig allowed me to choose how to communicate with each other. My comfort and life demand. He has also given me perspectives to read and think about. Good reflective questions. I feel safe and comfortable that I am heading toward a goal of happiness.
