Taryn by far has been the best therapist I worked with! I'm based in Thailand and the therapists I've had in the past were too analytical and rational. Taryn, on the other hand, approaches my problems with empathy, inspiration, and positive energy. She has a way to reshape my narrative to look at the situation in a new light, which leads to a more effective strategy in overcoming the problems. I highly recommend her.

Taryn ahs been my therapist for a month now and U wasn't sure what to expect from my initial session. I was so nervous that I felt I was just talking non stop, but Taryn allowed me that space to let my thoughts all out. She is an expert at making one feel that they are seen and heard. She values personal backgrounds cultural and identity which is critical or someone who comes from a culture that does not condone any form of therapy or mental health assistance. I glad that I was matched to Taryn because she is helping me work on my General anxiety, panic disorder, and relationships.

Taryn has been a Good sent to me. Even though I am in a totally different country she was able to understand and empathize with what I am going through. She is also a great listener and gave me useful advice I was able to apply and it changed my life around. I would definitely recommend her! She is a great person

She provides constructive and critical feedback on whatever issues you may bring to her with care ,empathy and respect . I'd recommend her to any people feeling lost.

Taryn is a breath of fresh air, and I have really enjoyed working with her. She has helped me gain self-confidence, and has taught me how to feel empowered. I look forward to our sessions, and I highly recommend her!

She's great. I like connecting with her through BetterHelp therapy. I feel like she understands me, and what I'm going through. Even when I'm culturally Asian and she's American and some. I have not done the type of hw she gives before, like "I am" affirmations, and by doing it, I can see that it counters my negative vision about myself. With her help, I'm having a more balanced self esteem.

I met Taryn via a Live Chat. I was not sure how this would work out but it was great, and we got to the root of my situation within the first 20 minutes! Taryn was able to help me with resources and key words and phrases which really resonated with me.
Taryn has read everything I have had to say and given very good advice, and i am really pleased with lots of key phrases and thoughts that I have to work with.
After only 3 sessions I feel very positive and feel like I am making huge progress. It has been so worthwhile, and although I normally prefer face to face, writing everything down is very therapeutic in itself, having someone help you make sense of it all - someone like Taryn who is brilliant at this - helps you not only get through a problem, but helps you find a way through it with clear and positive advice. Thank you Taryn.

Taryn is a very well qualified therapist.

I would highly recommend Taryn to people who struggle with self-acceptance and sincerity. Taryn is extremely comfortable in communication during the lesson, helps to sort out my experience and provides useful practices for self-improvement and inner balance. As the person who struggles with concentration issues, suppression of emotions and dissociation from body or reality, I find Taryn's advices and assistance efficient. Our sessions help me to stay concentrated and motivated in highly stressful situations (change of profession, war in my country, constant blackouts, emotional support for elderly parents, physical rehabilitation). Taryn is fabulous, highly recommended.

Taryn is incredibly warm and wonderful to work with. She's helped me progress so much with working on setting personal boundaries and is always very encouraging, listens, and pays close attention to what you are communicating with her. Would highly recommend working with her

Taryn is an excellent therapist. She was able to address and get me through my problems from the first session. Her direct communication made it easy for me to think and re-evaluate my thoughts on my past relationships with people. Since she was able to shift my mind and perspective from the first session I had a hard time coming up with problem areas to talk about in the next few sessions and I've been very positive since then :) Thank you for all your help!

Taryn is a great listener – she makes me feel validated and safe enough to talk about my problems in a judgement-free zone. I appreciate her uplifting advice during our session and always makes me believe and feel that I can do better and that I am doing better.

Taryn is a great Therapist! She is so patient and listens to absolutely everything and helps me see views from different perspectives. I was so nervous about starting therapy and opening up about my issues but Taryn made me feel at ease from our very first session. Often I get upset during our sessions but Taryn never fails to support me and puts a smile on my face. Tonights session ended up with a sing song and it is now my new theme song for when I am feeling low! I would highly recommend Taryn!

Taryn has really helped me to increase my self worth, she has listened carefully and given me sound advice, tips and tricks to manage my anxieties. She has given me tools to practice and has helped me take control of my behaviours and actions. She has given me permission to stand up for myself as this is something I've struggled with. I'd really reccomend Taryn as a therapist!!!

My favourite thing about working with Taryn is how kind and genuine she is, and that she isn't judgemental. I find it so hard to open up to people at first, but it didn't take me long to become comfortable talking to Taryn and feel a rapport with her. No matter what frame of mind I've been in before our sessions, I always end the session feeling encouraged, and better within myself.

My favorite thing about receiving therapy from Taryn is that any problem I present to her, she suggest solutions and she suggests how those solutions will feel so I am aware of me improving my mental health.

I've only had a few sessions so far but she's already helped me so much and I cannot hype her enough! She actively listens to me and is able to keep up with my chaotic mind while still keeping me focused on the end goal. My self esteem is already starting to improve and I have confidence that my mental health will keep improving with her help. Truly grateful to her for all of her help so far
