These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tarrah Grady. 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.
Tarrah is really great at listening and then asking thought-provoking questions, to help me think through my emotions and concerns. She's really communicative and able to bring different perspectives to worries or concerns that I may have.

She understands that sometimes life gets in the way of our goals and attendance. She goes out of her way to help in any way she can.

Tarrah has been great! This is my first therapy experience and I had fears of not enjoying it or not meshing with someone. Tarrah immediately alleviated my worries. She has an amazing personality , we just click. She’s filled with great advice but listens to me and remembers all our previous sessions. I couldn’t be happier with our pairing to each other.

I've only had a couple sessions with Tarrah so far, but I couldn't be more happy with the time I've shared with her. Tarrah is very friendly and really creates a comfortable and laid back environment and she makes sharing about yourself feel easy and like you're talking to someone who's known you for years. I look forward to continuing my sessions with her!
