These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Joanna (Ioanna) Karaoulani. 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 highly recommend Dr Karaoulani. She is so carrying, listening and make you feel so comfortable.

I wished i could found Dr Ioanna Karaoulani earlier and avoid previous therapists and many sessions without positive outcome in my personal life. She has been really supportive through our journey but also helped me to overcome most of my anxiety and fears in few months… Thanks a million times Ioanna
