Written on Oct 04, 2021 after therapy with Carla for 3 years and 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, and self esteem

Carla has been such an amazing therapist so far and we've only had a couple sessions. I hadn't been able to see a therapist in more than a year and I was nervous about starting therapy online but Carla was really easy to open up to about past experiences. She is very compassionate, empathetic and actively listens to what I'm saying as well as being able to laugh with me about situations. She has been so helpful in getting me to look at why I think the way I think and what I can learn from situations and thought patterns. Would highly recommend her!!!

Carla is quick to respond to messages, and will communicate and help you unravel / explore the questions and concerns that you have. Carla has a professional, but also down-to-earth and relatable personality in video sessions as well, making the conversation on the call open and inviting.

Written on Mar 01, 2021 after therapy with Carla for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and career difficulties

Carla has been wonderful. Every time I'm in a session, I feel able to be open because she genuinely cares and doesn't judge my inner thoughts or when I go on tangents haha. She also isn't overbearing; I feel comfortable redirecting if the convo starts focusing on something less helpful. HIGHLY recommend.

Written on Nov 19, 2020 after therapy with Carla for 6 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety

Carla has been an amazing support in a time when I needed to seek help outside of my private sphere. It is my first time counselling and I have not been disappointed my interactions with Carla and her advice. She is a great listener and a fast thinker. She also knows what questions to ask and where to keep digging. I really feel I've been taking a few steps forward and even when things are still blurry, I don't feel as lost as I have been.

Written on Nov 07, 2020 after therapy with Carla for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and anger management

Carla is patient, attentive and personable. She is so respectful but does not shy away from telling the truth. I appreciate how she remembers details because it helps me connect things and people in my story that I would miss. I’ve made a lot of progress with her help.

Written on Oct 04, 2020 after therapy with Carla for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, and compassion fatigue

I had made plans to start therapy with a specialized therapist, but they did not have availability for about a month. I knew I needed more immediate help. I tried Better Help so that I could have support in the interim, and was matched with Carla. I've been in therapy on and off for years with a number of different practitioners, and usually, very little happens in the course of a month. By contrast, Carla was extremely effective in a very short time. She was able to identify and develop a variety of different points of entry for exploration and processing over the course of only three sessions. I have greater clarity about what my needs and goals are, what challenges I'm running into, and what's generally most important to me than I did before I started working with her. Carla is warm, gracious, non-judgmental, and deeply human. If I didn't have insured therapy set up here forward, I would very happily keep working with her, and recommend her highly to anyone who is looking for help. I am so grateful to her for the work that she does, and for the kindness with which she does it.

I was very skeptical at first to do this but with Carla instead of me just diving in she helped me open up a bit and put things for me in different view. She doesn’t just listen because it’s her job she actually wants to help you and see you do better. I have recommended her to people I know.

Written on Mar 10, 2019 after therapy with Carla for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, and relationship issues

I have to say that I am quite impressed with Better Help services. I honestly read some reviews before subscribing that left me uncertain wether it could be helpful or not. But then I subscribed and met Carla and she is just wonderful. She understood me from the very beginning and even though I sent her endless messages, she read them carefully and replied me in a very short time. One of my fears was also that to be judged. I felt judged by other therapist before (not on BetterHelp), but whatever I said, she never made me feel that way. On the contrary she supports me and help me throughout my healing journey.

I didn't question her expertise, I really believe she makes a difference, being able to read, write back, and most importantly, answer my concerns. I never used this method before, but I recommend it because she touched on some things that changed my perspective and she gave me the boost to really believe in myself and that the changes I made were positive. When I get an email from her, it really makes me confident that I'm not alone and sometimes, it's almost like talking to a friend.
