These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kara Riggott. 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.
Kara was a great therapist for me in our time together. She was so willing and insistent on me being who I want to be. Allowing me to set aside guilt and negative thoughts to thrive in who I am. She will be missed in she time away as she spends time with her new addition.

Kara has been absolutely amazing. She has helped me process things I wouldn’t have been able to fathom processing 5 years ago. I’ve been through a few therapists and never found a good fit for me until I met Kara. I felt safe and comfortable opening up to her without fear of judgement ( something I’ve struggled with in the past). She has been encouraging, empathetic and everything I could ask for in a therapist including keeping the greater good of the patient in mind. I would highly recommend Kara and seeing if you find a fit with her like I did!

Kara is excellent! She has a very calming demeanor about her and she does such a great job of bringing you back to the truth/reality and helps you realize that anxiety is just a survival mechanism, it's not the absolute truth! Working with Kara is so great!

Kara is the nicest person. She never makes me feel judged and always points out my positive qualities. She is very professional and always starts the appointment on time. We laugh a lot and she has a good sense of humor. She also has offered me an alternative way to look at things and presents situations from a different perspective. I feel fortunate that I was matched with her right off the bat and didn't have to cycle through a bunch of therapists that weren't a good fit. Overall, BetterHelp has been a very positive experience, in large part due to Kara's kindness and consideration.
