These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Kirkpatrick. 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.
Karen is incredibly in-tune to my needs and how therapy can best help me. Although I pride myself on my self-awareness, she challenges me to be insightful in ways I’ve never thought of before. She is incredibly welcoming and doesn’t waste a minute of time in our sessions. I can’t recommend her enough!
