These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen Phalen. 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.
I have been attending therapy since I was 4 years old off and on. Kathleen has been the first therapist I've had that I really feel understands me and listens to me. She's hard on me when I need her to be and she has already made so much progress with me.

I appreciate that Kathleen will address any subjects or issues that I bring up in our sessions or in my messages to her. I'm not organized with my thoughts but thank God she is organized in her style of giving her feedback. I'm glad to have found her on BetterHelp.
