These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karen Villarreal. 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.
Karen is attentive, knowledgeable, and sensitive. She understands my particular struggle very well and also is fun to talk to as she is very affable and sweet.
