These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kenneth Young. 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.
Ken engages with me by listening to what I have going on and then incorporates that into my specific needs for therapy. He makes me feel safe to express myself and ask questions so I can explore when I am stuck or curious.

Ken seems to be very knowledgeable, very comforting.He does not judge.He does not make me feel inferior, he actually listens to what I have to say and helps me interpret what's going on. I would highly recommend him. He seems like a very intelligent man and i'm definitely glad I was paired with him.

I decided to give therapy a chance again after a very bad "termination" experience with a former therapist (not through BetterHelp). I waited two years in between, allowing myself both time to heal as well as build confidence in my ability to hold on to a baseline level of mental health, with or without therapy.
I trusted BetterHelp's matching process, as I didn't feel like I had a lot invested this time around. However, Ken has turned out to be a pleasant surprise, and I'm finding working with him quite rewarding, productive, and effective. I do feel as though I'm growing more quickly than I would've without his help.
He helps me set goals that are conducive to positive long-term change. What I think he does particularly well is strike that delicate balance between holding me accountable vs. not making me feel pressured. He's not pushing/rushing me to change, but instead causing me to feel innately motivated.

Ken has been an excellent therapist to me. He is a wonderful listener, and can be honest with me about the things I need to hear. I would definitely recommend him!
