These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cara Tuley. 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 am dealing with a horrible break-up since last year and I have been in contact with Cara since February this year and she is the sweetest and most caring therapist I have ever encountered here. She really listens and she sees me for who I am and helping me how to cope up with the break-up I'm dealing with until now. We have some good laughs most of the time when we talk on video call and she is gentle when it comes to giving me some advice. She always gives me encouragement and the best support when I need it. Cara is my most favorite therapist and I highly recommend her! ???

Cara is so helpful to me in our sessions. Her input is truly valuable to me and I appreciate her kind and caring approach. Her patience with me as I struggle along is necessary and she speaks up when I need her to. I like how she jokes with me and her laugh is so sweet. Her expertise shows as she guides me through my complicated life stressors. I have grown so much since working with her. Much appreciated.

Cara gives me confidence in my struggles and validates me completely. She has been warm and kind and very reassuring. I LOATHED thinking about starting up therapy again and getting established with a new therapist, but Cara made it a very easy transition. I’ve only had 2 sessions so far but I am actually looking forward to dig even deeper into our next sessions. I feel stronger in my life decisions and she’s given me kind words to remind myself when I am questioning myself. Thank you for making this such a great start to a fantastic journey!

Long overdue, but I've been seeing Cara for more than a year now and she truly is my weekly lighthouse in a storm. I was in a very bad place when I started therapy but thanks to her guidance, I now have a lot more tools to cope, a lot more confidence/self worth and just much more knowledge of who I am and where I want to go.
Cara is compassionate, professional, and has helped me with everything I've thrown at her. She knows exactly when to keep the mood light/manageable, and when to delve into my past and my issues with sincerity, understanding and expertise.
Her memory and her note-taking are exceptional... she remembers everything so we converse with full eye contact, which means a lot to me.
Above all, I trust her with everything I am and everything that has happened to me. And that is not something I do lightly or often.
If you're lucky enough to work with Cara, you're in very, very safe and brilliant hands.
Thank you, Cara. You rock / you are my rock x

By far the best therapist I’ve ever had and I’ve tried several over the years! She listens and gives advice. Usable tools that have really helped me with my anxiety. I can’t recommend Cara enough! She’s changed my life.

I've always looked forward to speaking with Cara every week. She's very warm and kind, and had made me feel comfortable and safe enough to speak my mind. The best thing I've learned from our conversations is to live in the present, which had helped me get through each day no matter how good or bad it may be. Thank you, Cara.

Cara is amazing. I have never felt this comfortable with a therapist. I know I can trust her with anything and she won't judge. It's been a bit under three months I believe, and she has helped immensely.

Cara instantly adapted into my life to help with current situations I am going through without wasting any time. When I ask for advice, guidance, suggestions she responds with the knowledge I need to be successful and explains it in a way I understand. She is my cheerleader and it was everything I needed.

I've been with Cara for three months. She is very warm, easy to be comfortable with, and gives great advice or insights to your situation and how to handle it. Within these three months, I was able to fix my relationships with people rather than avoid it & become a lot stronger in my mindset as well. I am really thankful to have her as my first therapist.

Cara was a non judgmental mirror for me, she listened and asked a few questions giving me a comfortable arena to work out my issues, and with her careful guidance I believe I have a renewed confidence in who I am, and am happy with the person I see in that mirror! I was very nervous about divulging every thought and perceived or real inequities that brought me to require the services of a counselor, but immediately I was at ease with Cara, and she dispelled any doubts and fears that gave me anxiety about getting help! If you doubt yourself or someone or something has disturbed your equilibrium, get help! Thank You Cara

Absolutely amazing person. I've never once felt judged or uncomfortable sharing anything with her even though we haven't been talking very long. She has a friendly personality and is able to joke and make light of situations when needed. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering starting therapy or in need of a new therapist.

Cara is a great therapist.
Almost immediately, Cara was able to make me feel comfortable in our session. Being my first time trying this type of therapy I was a bit anxious, uncomfortable and sceptical. Those feelings didn't last long at all, I found immense relief in how quickly we connected. After our second session I felt at ease sharing with her, almost like talking with a long time family friend.
