These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen Carter. 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 continue to be super excited and grateful to be working with Kathleen! We started on some basic boundary skills and personal prep/support as I prepare to be an organ donor and she has accompanied me to being able to discern some solid things to keep working on and more substantial goals to move towards in both my personal and professional life. Kathleen is challenging but kind, funny but firm, and very engaged and encouraging. Her availability is varied - which helps with my weird schedule and she is always responsive. I am picky and stubborn - but definitely feel like I struck gold in the therapist realm! Thanks BetterHelp!

So far, I feel very confident with her experience and follow up with me. She checks in periodically to keep updated and I feel that’s beneficial. She has given me tools to implement outside of counseling. I would highly recommend!

I really enjoyed working with Kathleen. She helps me not to feel guilty about my sons death and to understand that I did my best.
She listens, understands and cares. I've had therapy before but I've never had a therapist that reached out to me weekly after our sessions to offer strength and encouragement.
Thank you so much Kathleen!!
