It is my first time doing therapy and I am so happy that I was paired to do this journey with Karen. She is very kind, but direct, listens but at the same time interacts with me in a way that allows me to explore things from my own perspective. I feel huge progress in this experience and feel super grateful and content with BetterHelp and with my therapist. I really strongly recommend! ☺️
