These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kathleen (Kathy) Malone. 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.
Kathy is very professional and yet very human. She relates to me and meets me where I am (mentally) every time. She reiterates what I’ve said and helps me see things differently, showing me light where I didn’t see any. She is warm and compassionate, very much like a best friend, someone I trust completely.

I’ve been with Kathy for almost a year now; the longest I’ve ever stayed with a therapist. She’s the type of person that right away, I knew we would connect well. I don’t even think I knew this at the time, but I needed a therapist whose fundamentals centered on self-esteem. I had this idea of therapy in my head based on some bad experiences in the past, and Kathy helped me to break down those walls and realize this isn’t a forced thing. While it can be difficult to self-examine at times, it’s a privilege to be able to have our talks every week. As a therapist, she is extremely personable, reassuring and authentic. She genuinely listens & remembers what we’ve talked about from session to session (many times more so than me). I love that our sessions never feel stuffy or too clinical. I feel very safe with everything we discuss. I’ve found that starting my day or ending my week with a session really helps to get my mindset in a good place for whatever I have going on in the days to come. I am so grateful to have found this platform and been matched with Kathy. Everyone has different needs, but I believe that everyone can benefit from refocusing on self-love and self-worth. Often times, things I’ve labeled as something different, ultimately were simply a result of not knowing or valuing myself to the full extent. And coping skills. And boundaries. In my opinion, this is Kathy’s wheelhouse.

I would like to share my good experience with Kathy in our therapy sessions. I feel very blessed to have the ability to talk with her, as I feel that she really understands me thanks to her sensitivity and experience. Also, she has a lot of useful tools to help me through this process I'm going through, and I feel I'm learning every session something new.

Kathy is an incredibly talented and effective therapist, and I would particularly recommend her to anyone who would like some guidance in their relationships. The sessions are non-judgemental, practical and interesting. The information Kathy sends in the week between sessions has always been really thought provoking, and she always responds to messages timeously!
