Karen has such a gentle demeanor. She makes me feel seen and heard.

Awesome. Amazing. Probably saved my life. How is she not famous?!

Karen is hands down the best therapist/advocate I have met!! She meets me where I am and is extremely encouraging, and gives me the freedom to come to my own answers instead of spoon-feeding them to me, which feels 10x more empowering to know that I'm strong enough to do this life thing on my own.

Karen is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, but she won't hesitate to call me out if need be. She's exactly what I want and need in a therapist ❤️

She truly seems to understand my experience and takes my whole person into.account

Karen has been so kind, compassionate, and helpful as I have sought self improvement. She actively listens to me, validates me, and gives me feedback. I would recommend Karen to anyone ❤️

Karen has been extremely helpful and supportive during one of the roughest periods of my life. She’s not only responsive when you send a question or concern, she takes the time to answer with a valuable response. She gives guidance whenever you need it and will keep you on your path. So glad I’ve found her!

I think Ms Karen has a lot of knowledge, she is slow to talk and quick to listen-or is it the other way around?

Karen listens to everything I tell her and gives me guidance on what I am doing right and where I need to make changes.

Karen has done a fantastic job of creating a comfortable space and keeping track of everything we've discussed. We've definitely jumped into the deep end but I feel comfortable and enjoy how quickly the sessions have felt really meaningful.

Karen is very calm and supportive. I feel like I have a friend I can talk to.

I went to Karen after having a very bad experience with a different therapist but now she feels like a trusted friend. She’s very calm and understanding.

Karen was attentive to everything that I brought up and helped me make sense of very complex disorders and emotions. Strongly recommend!!

Karen has provided a safe place for me to talk about what bothers me. She is helping me learn new ways to think about things and how I can respond positively.

She is great!

Karen has been a huge help to me on my journey to healing. She has given me the space to speak freely and is a good listener. Several things I wanted to work on she had a lot of knowledge about and was able to help me understand and see a clear path rather then muddy mire I have been waking in. I have gained hope, knowledge, direction and I also see a light at the end of my tunnel while counsling with her. I highly recommend Karen for her great ability to listen and understand what one is going through and also provide you a way to move past it while supporting you and encouraging you through it.

Absolutely some of the best care I’ve ever received. 3 sessions in and I found myself feeling incredibly comfortable, confident, open to her guidance. I look forward each week to our sessions together.

Karen listens and asks thoughtful questions during sessions. She is calm and joyful.

Very calm and patient as I’ve been talking nonstop the first several sessions giving her tons of background and context.

Karen has been helped me understand things better, have more compassion for myself, and suggests ways to better handle situations. I appreciate her guidance, advice and lending an ear.

She does an excellent job listening and a great understanding of the narcissistic personality disorder.

I’ve had two sessions with Karen and already have tools to help me with my current challenges. She listens and helps me see through a different lense than the one I present. I am very grateful for her.

Karen is a professional caring and compassionate hypnotherapist that has been a delight to work with. I look forward each week to the creative process she has to offer. I would highly recommend her.

Very easy to talk to and really helps me look within myself

I love Karen's style. She's patient, understanding and kind and I feel very comfortable with her. She's so knowledgeable and has taught me a lot.

Karen understands this type of abuse!

I am extremely grateful for Karen showing up at the perfect time in my life. Now that i am ready to peel and heal the deepest parts of myself (even parts of me that i have forgotten), i found her. She is a great listener and a wise counselor. I have learned a lot from her and she is one of a kind. I am continually healing myself for years with different teachers/therapists but with her, she knew exactly what the issue is and pinpoints directly on the things i need to work on. I love her. Thank you so much, Karen! You are wonderful~

My first session with Karen was very helpful. Karen, thank you so much for listening to me.

Karen is kind hearted and individualize each Session just for me. She creates a Relaxing Environment.

Karen ward has changed my life. I don’t think that there’s must else needed to be said other than that.

Karen has been wonderful. She understands what is troubling me and what I need to work on. She provides exercises and ways for me to move forward and progress for the better. It's been great!

When my psychiatrist recommended counseling I wasn't sure what I'd talk about or who I'd feel comfortable with and benefit from and I put it off. Finally I Was matched with Karen and she made me feel comfortable right away. I look forward to every session and feel that my needs and goals for therapy have become much more clear.

She's really down to earth and trustworthy more than I've had with prior counselors. I love her techniques especially which the hypnotherapy which I'm doing everyday now. She's incredible and I highly recommend. She makes me feel like I have a good friend to talk to.

Karen is so wonderful! She has taught me so much in how to handle my anxiety, nightmares, and racing thoughts. I have full confidence in her and her ability's. She makes me feel very calm when talking to her. I highly recommend her!

We have had 2 sessions thus far and I feel karen will be able to help me through everything. She has helped me to think about a lot so far and things are going very well. She's very understanding and very nice. Highly recommend for an understanding and helpful counselor. She shows you how things are very well.

I’ve never been comfortable with the idea of therapy itself or even opening up to someone that is a complete stranger at first, but Karen has definitely been a diamond in the rough. She is very kind and intuitive, and a great listener who will give you straight up, honest advice and will do her best to help you. Highly recommend.

Karen is great and has helped me a great deal so far

Karen has been great! She validates my feelings and offers good advise that helps me see things in a positive way. I enjoy our sessions and already feel better.

Very patient and good listener

Karen has been such a great council when processing through the stressors in my life. She is attentive, caring, gentle, resourceful, and provides helpful tools, tips, and encouragement. I always look forward to seeing her!

Karen has been an amazing therapist to work with. Often times it is hard to find the "right fit" in finding the therapist I can connect with so I am grateful for this app and how it connected me to her. She has been an amazing resource and someone who is helping me through my journey. I am very pleased and happy with her.

Karen has been truly great. She listens and reads between the lines to pin point potential problems and provides ways to help or cope with it. I would absolutely recommend her.

She seems to be a good listener. I like that. Some times you just need someone to hear you

I’ve only had one session with Karen, but I like her gentle caring nature. In her response to my original message I could tell she understood my concerns.

The first time I spoke with Karen I could tell she was experienced and knew what she was talking about. I've tried a few therapist and councilors over the years that seemed to by focused on one topic and I never really felt they understood what I was trying not get out, I never felt that they really understood how my brain works of the way I try to express things. With Karen I felt instant validation, I felt heard clearly for the first time, I felt she understood what I was really trying to say. She was able to see under the surface almost instantly. I'm naturally very guarded and for the first time in a long time I felt I could be myself and speak my truth with out judgement or having to justify or dumb anything down. Thank you Karen Ward!

Karen is the best. I feel I'm making great progress.

I am only starting with this process, so I don't have any long term information offer. What I have so far is completely positive. Since my health plan has no provision for this kind of service, I consider Betterhelp's availability a really excellent thing, and I like the idea that I can message in the app, rather than have to do all communications during our meeting. So, as I said before I'm just getting started, but I would recommend anyone try out this venue yeah they have some things that they need to really optimize in their life and they think some counseling might help. The thing that really surprised me about this process was that if I am just journaling to myself I don't really look at the issues and the amount of detail that I would have to look at them if I was explaining them to someone else such as a counselor. This has led me to examine the things that I am trying to improve not only in more detail but in more relevant detail. This counselling process has added an entire dimension to my love level of thought. The first example is when I moved from merely documenting what I was thinking and feeling as I would have in my Journal to actually formulating what a good version of the troubled area would look like in order that I could explain what I wanted to my counselor. Having to do this last little part of analysis and thought is really starting to make a little difference and my approach to this end to some other things that are not at risk.

Karen is incredible. She has helped me work through so many things during such a difficult time in my life. Her guidance and support have helped me progress and sort through so many things and heal in so many ways. I love working with her.
