These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Krista Healy Schaefer. 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.
Krista has been a blessing. In a short time, talking to her became as comfortable as talking to an old, trusted friend. Krista is great at putting her thoughts into contexts that I can understand and/or relate to. Therapy with Krista does not feel like a "cookie cutter" session. It feels very personal.

Krista is a great person to have as a therapist. She's not only a good listener and empathizes well, but really looks out for your best interest from a place of care, love and empowerment. At times it feels like going out of your comfort zone, but it's always coupled with feeling understood. I would definitely recommend her!

Krista listens well, and she is very patient and understanding. She helps me see things that I am having trouble seeing in the moment. She is very calm and friendly. Her guidance always makes a big impact and sticks with me throughout the week.
