Kathleen is the best! She listened to what I had to say, identified my areas of concern, and created an action plan tailored to me and my needs. After just a few sessions, I am amazed by just how much we have already accomplished. Her insights, suggested activities, and relevant worksheets have helped me immensely. She is definitely one of the best therapists I have ever encountered. Thank you Kathleen and Better Help.

Kathleen has helped me with many struggles I’ve dealt with. She listens to the many struggles I face, and helps guide me to better my self confidence. I get multiple worksheets that help me understand things I need to improve so that I can move forward with better mental health. I don’t know how I would be able to get through trying times without her.
