I have tried 4 different counselors - none of them made me feel comfortable enough to even talk about my feelings. Kathryn is always available and responds within a timely manner. She's easy to talk to, and open up to. She actually reads what I type - and doesn't just ask "how does that make you feel". She makes me think about things differently.

Kathryn and I hit it off right away. I was very skeptical about this and as always not trusting a new therapist. Her personality is warm and sincere. She speaks from the heart and has a sharp sense of humor. She has many life experiences so she can relate to what I m going through. She send me little messages to check in on me which is a lot more than anyone else has ever done for me. I am so grateful I signed up with 'BetterHelp' and that they matched me with Kathryn. Even when I do not contact her, just knowing she's out there helps me through my day.

Love this woman!

Kathryn has helped me through the sudden loss of what I thought would be my dream job and navigated all of the uncertainties that followed. It was overwhelming attempting to cope with the loss while applying for unemployment, medicaid, and new jobs. I recognized I needed to focus on my mental health in order to be successful in my next chapter of life and Kathryn helped me rebuild my self confidence that my previous job knocked down. In between job related stressors she helped me navigate family related stress over the holiday period which unveiled deeper rooted issues in self confidence and self worth. She is prompt to message back, checks in on you if you haven't messaged her in a while, and utilizes humor and personal experience to new situations. She's helped me rewrite my story and enter the next chapter with a better mindset. Better Help was a great resource to have access to mental health during a time of not having health insurance and in today's time of long wait periods to be seen in a traditional clinic. It is nice having sessions in the comfort of your own home and the ability to chat in-between sessions when new things come up. Thank you for being there when I really needed it!
