These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tara Jenkins. 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.

This was by far the greatest experience I’ve ever had opening up to someone and myself. Tara is such a genuine soul, she will work with you and will do anything she can to make sure that you trend forward in the right direction with your mental health. I started my first session with her back in May of 2024 and I was feeling broken, lost, and depressed. With Tara’s help, I was able to get back to feeling like myself and also evolving into a better version of myself. For that, I couldn’t be any more grateful for the experience, I recommend anyone to work with Tara! 20/10

Tara is the first therapist I’ve ever had and she has done such a good job making me feel comfortable and has helped me quickly improve in several areas that I’ve been working on. The results were almost instant for me. Tara is very good at her job and really cares. Would highly recommend

Tara helps you approach your situation from many angles and makes sure that you are always comfortable using the tools and skills she helps you learn. Any time you feel like you have taken steps backwards she gives you the pat on the back and helps lift you forward with the confidence you already have inside. Truly a positive experience.

Tara has been a wonderful therapist, especially since it is the first time in my life (age 53, male) that I have engaged in therapy. I was always of the mindset that I could figure it out on my own. Tara took the time up-front to understand the issues I was confronting. She has provided several great tools and methods that have quickly helped me move in the right direction. She is flexible with scheduling and method of engaging. I'm only in my first month but continue to look forward to the next sessions. I would confidently recommend Tara to anyone seeking help in their journey.

My therapy sessions with Ms. Jenkins are exceptional. I don’t know how I would’ve learned to cope without her expertise. She’s a true professional and she cares! I’d recommend her to anyone in need. I appreciate her!
