Karen Smith is absolutely amazing—not just as a therapist, but as a human being. From the start, she’s been kind, respectful, deeply understanding, and completely nonjudgmental. She’s someone I know I would have loved and connected with even outside of therapy—someone I’d genuinely want in my life as a friend.
She truly listens to what I need, offers insightful guidance, and gives me practical tools and exercises that are actually helping me grow. Even in a short amount of time, she’s made a meaningful impact on my healing journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend Karen as a therapist and would recommend BetterHelp to anyone seeking compassionate and effective support.
