Reviews

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

Allison is a great listener. I also love her recall and dot connecting between past and recent things I’ve shared. I love the challenging questions and resource material she suggests. I’m glad I have Allison as my therapist.

Recently I referred a friend to Betterhelp. While we were in a zoom call he looked it up and started the process of perusing his enrollment. He’s out of state so I told him he would likely be given a different person. I told him I’m sure he will be pleased.

Allison has been a key piece in my healing and growth from complex PTSD. She is thoughtful and insightful and has an extraordinary gift for truly listening to someone in a deep and meaningful way. I have been in therapy on and off for 30 years and this is by far the most progress I have made!

Allison is extremely kind and very thoughtful. She’s a great listener and also provides really helpful advice and ideas for how to manage whatever it is you’re struggling with. She’s been nothing short of great!

This year has been full of a lot of changes, growing pains, and stress - Allison has been so supportive in helping me navigate all of it! She uses all the tools BetterHelp has and I am so grateful I can send her a message when I am having a bad day.

Allison is great, however I wish I could schedule sessions in Better Help more than just once at a time in advance to help with consistency and keep a regular schedule.
