These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Johnson. 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.
My Therapist, Karen, was insightful. She made me stop and think, not gloss over statements, and move on to the next subject. Setting goals is something I did mentally but not physically. Write it down she said, and check them off as I go. The homework she has provided so far, has helped me focus on the things I already knew but never put into practice. Thank you Karen!
