These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kristen Aukeman. 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.
Kristen was my very first therapist that I ever tried and we immediately clicked. She has helped me in my process of learning and growing from past behaviors and loving myself more than people who don't love me. She has helped me learn coping mechanisms for the things that hurt me and ways that I can continue to grow. I cannot recommend her enough. She is friendly, just the right amount of professional and is extremely helpful and kind.

Very easy to talk to. Very comfortable to tell my thoughts.

I have had a great experience with BetterHelp. Immediately and ongoing, the support has been a relief to me and given me constructive tools for a habitual shift in perspective.

It's been about a month. She is exactly what I need. I need someone to tell me how to navigate live. She is wonderful. Kind, fun, intelligent, and helps me to understand what is going on. I look forward to more sessions. Even when I think I have nothing to talk about, we do. She is not one to just listen the whole time because she explains thing. I said I didn't want a sugar coater... so she doesn't do that with me.
