These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tarrah Grady. 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've only had a couple sessions with Tarrah so far, but I couldn't be more happy with the time I've shared with her. Tarrah is very friendly and really creates a comfortable and laid back environment and she makes sharing about yourself feel easy and like you're talking to someone who's known you for years. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her!

Tarrah is easy to talk to and is not judgmental at all about the subjects I choose to discuss. She made me feel like I don’t have to be ashamed that I am on probation and has previous experience with treating those in with convictions or stuck in the justice system. Her hours work well with my crazy schedule and reaches out to me just to see if I need anything.
