Karen style is really compatible with my personality. I made a lot of progress with her in the last few months. She helps me finding the answers in me rather than telling me what to do.

I really like working with Karen. I like that she is a human with struggles too. I feel like she is in a better position to help me because she has been through stuff.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Approachable, understanding and kind. I feel Like she cares about me

My therapist is amazing and I have been coming back to her for the amount of therapy that I have been allocated over the last couple of years. I do wish that better help itself would work with clients a little bit better by giving better Financial options along with taking on more insurance policies so that I can get more therapy instead of the small amount that I am allowed. My therapist is amazing when it comes to my mental health. It would just be nice if the company was more focused on the mental health instead of making it financially impossible for more people to get help.

Working with Karen for the last couple of years has truly been a blessing to my sanity. I was at a place of serious pure depression, suicidal thoughts and now I feel stronger than ever before. I'm not allowed very many phone video sessions through my work but her messaging me and checking in on me makes me feel worthwhile in this world to have somebody actually checking in on me. Honestly I don't know where I would be right now if it wasn't for Karen.

Karen is compassionate, supportive, and professional. We’ve worked well together since the first session and I’m so grateful to have her as my therapist.

Reviewed August 2022

She is the best and I only came back for her and would only talk to her. I will continue to use this service as much as I can and am allowed with the insurance issue.

Reviewed June 2022

Karen and I have developed a good rapport in a pretty short span of time. She’s always professional and listens well. I appreciate her directness and honesty.

I contacted Better health and within a day I was partnered with a counsellor Karen Heinrich. She contacted immediately and we booked for the next day. I was severely sad during our first session and by the end of our session I had regained a manageable level of my sadness. Karen checked my wellness by text almost bi-daily and we met again weekly with no waiting period. Karen efficiently gave me coping skills to better deal with my sadness and Covid isolation. I highly recommend anyone having difficulty with effects of Covid, don't wait as long as I did, seek help even if it's just to confirm your mental health is well.

Reviewed January 2021

Karen is a lovely person. She’s a great listener and helped to suss out issues that really bothered me. I found that her recommendations on how to handle stress and negative thoughts were also quite useful.
