These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathryn Auen. 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.
Kathryn does an amazing job as my therapist. She makes me feel comfortable and at ease during my sessions because it helps make the conversions flow. I love how Kathryn asks thought provoking questions of me which creates dialog for meaningful conversations bringing me to come to my own conclusions.
She shows concern for me with the difficulties of adverse events. Kathryn even remained on a video session when I wasn't in a good place due to extenuating circumstance. This makes me feel valued as her patient.
Kathryn is great at keeping communication channels open and I love that she responds to my messages in a timely fashion. One thing I really admire Kathryn for is she has her best interests in on myself achieving my wellness goals.
In short, should anyone happen to work with Kathryn, you are in great hands. Kathryn will not stear you wrong. She is compassionate, respectful, understanding and will work for you if you are willing to put in the effort. You cannot go wrong working with Kathryn. She is the best!
