These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Trudi Carlson. 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.
Trudi makes me feel comfortable so I can be open with her, that means I can speak freely and she can then help me better get through my difficult time.

I have had a positive experience with Trudi as my first therapist on betterhelp. She's open, friendly and available to listen to my challenges and the specific concerns I started with in my relationship and with parenting. She shared warmly, honestly, and provided a Great balance of feedback, clarity, and questions that helped me consider and reflect in and outside our sessions. I will continue the therapy journey feeling more aware, understood, a bit more confident and having a plan for moving forward despite ongoing difficulties. Thank you
