She is such a gem! I am glad to have her. I feel heard and seen and she is amazing at keeping track of my stories. I feel that she really knows me and is able to listen but also give good advice.

Dr. Caro is heaven sent. So grateful I was matched so perfectly with a knowledgeable and caring therapist. She has a lot of expertise in my complex trauma and has helped me a ton already!

Dr. Caro is truly an exceptional therapist. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, deeply empathetic, and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Over the past year, she has quite literally saved my life and helped me discover so much about myself. Her unwavering support has been with me every step of the way as I’ve grown into someone I’m genuinely proud to be. As a queer person, finding a therapist who is not only affirming but also a strong, active ally has meant the world to me. Dr. C has given me the tools, perspective, and confidence to move through life with more self-love and clarity. And beyond being an incredible therapist, she has become a truly meaningful presence in my life. Thank you, Dr. C. BetterHelp is so lucky to have you.
