These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen (Kathy) Douglas. 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 have done therapy in the past, but never felt any progress with what I struggle with until I met Kathy. I have been working with Kathy for awhile now and I see a difference in myself, and finding what she says, or the worksheets she sends beneficial to me. She is one of the best.

I've only been with Kathy for a couple of weeks, but she was welcoming from the very start. She's a great listener. She reads my notes and journal entries attentively, and provides resources for me to use outside sessions. She feels like a really genuine person who cares about what she does, and I feel heard for the first time in a long time.

Kathleen is not only wonderful as a therapist, she goes above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. And she’s got life experience and a plethora of ideas to help me adjust and adapt to my surroundings with my levels of depression and anxiety. She’s an amazing person.

Kathy has been so supportive. She has helped me process the most difficult moments in my life and asked questions I would never even thought or ask myself. I am very happy she is my therapist and confident with her expertise. I highly recommend working with her.
