These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Galvin. 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.
This has been the best decision I’ve made with therapy. Although you don’t have in person interaction feels more comfortable saying what you want over the phone, through video calls or through messages. Karen is a great listener, gives me a different perspective of things, gives suggestions on how I can move forward or options to help with the struggles. Would definitely recommend Karen Galvin

Karen is a treasure. I've been working with her for ages now and I can't imagine how I would've got through the last year without her. She both hears me and challenges me where appropriate and I am genuinely making progress towards the person I want to be.

Karen is just right for me. She offers me ways to see things that are right in line w my core values, only just a bit more of a stretch - in the healthier direction. She offers me exercises to try that actually help relieve the pain, tension, guilt, etc. I consider myself fortunate to work with her
