I found Karen Kelly while reaching out to Betterhelp for support to help get through the process of separation from my spouse. Karen has been great in terms of listening and providing a helpful perspective on my situation. She also had some great practical advice and insights that I found useful. I highly recommend Karen for her thoughtful and professional care as a therapist.

Karen is experienced, mature and very good at her craft. She easily creates a warm, safe environment and allows conversation to evolve at a comfortable pace. She is supportive and non-judgemental.

We've only just started, but she shoots straight and doesn't side step around topics. If you need someone direct, she is the therapist for you

Great listener, has an array of mental exercises that are tailored to one’s needs. If I could see her in person I would definitely go. Overall had great sessions with her.

Talking with a stranger right off the bat has always been my struggle, I usually never do. But finding Karen on BetterHelp has been the best thing to help me through a very tough turning point in my life- and being so comfortable doing so. I am very grateful.
