These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Makeda Kahlein. 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 value the new takes she provides on what is troubling me. Reframing leads to better understanding.

She is an excellent therapist; she was there to provide a deeper level of comfort and understanding in the situation I was in; while offering concrete solutions to relieve stress and proceed forward with set boundaries and the intent of bettering myself each day. Awesome work.
