Allyson is exactly what I needed from a counselor without me knowing it. I was apprehensive about starting therapy and didn't know what to expect. She has listened, challenged, and supported me every step of the way. I'm being pushed to be better while simultaneously being reassured firmly. She doesn't let me lie to myself or BS at all which I really appreciate. Couldn't recommend enough!

Allyson is very sweet and genuine! She listens to me and my concerns. She helps me get through things piece by piece rather than a huge chunk at a time and it’s helped immensely! Anything I want to work on, she makes that the focus of the day and adds in normal conversation towards the bottom of each message, which makes it easier to talk.

Allyson has done a wonderful job jelping me with the situation I am in. There isnt a real way to fix it but she has definitely given me the guidance and patience to head in the right direction.

Allyson provides the kind of support I need, and is helpful without seeming overbearing. She knows my concerns with what's going on in my life and my reactions. The value of a compassionate but uninvolved ear can't be overstated. Allyson asks the right questions, and our relationship has grown to the point where I will provide updates without being prompted, or about things we haven't necessarily discussed.

She is a very kind and helpful person but also a very good therapist! We've been working on my anxiety issues for a while and I can see a big improvement. Answers quickly and really listens to my problems, I've shed quite some tears during therapy but I think that is just a sign that we are working on the stuff that matters! Wonderful therapist!

Love her advice.
Written on May 25, 2018 after therapy with Allyson for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship, family, and self esteem
I've been talking to Allyson on BetterHelp for about a year now, and I can honestly say it's been one of the best experiences of my life. I was in grad school when I started talking to her, and I just started a new job, and she's been able to lead me through all the stress and anxiety I've been dealing with. She always offered to live-chat with me, either through text or phone, and was always able to ask me questions to help me consider things in a different way. She responded very quickly, and would always check in with me if I hadn't replied in a few days. Sometimes, I just used the BetterHelp service to vent my frustrations, and she was great at just letting me do that too. I'm going to miss Allyson and the influence she's had on my life--it's amazing in the modern age someone I've never met in real life can have impacted me so much!

Early stages- Wish I'd started years ago. Allyson is really helping me untangle lots of bottled up history.
Written on Nov 04, 2017 after therapy with Allyson for 2 weeks on issues concerning self esteem
Allyson is a wonderful counselor. She's helped me ask the right questions to myself and has helped me analyze difficult situations differently than how I would have previously. I definitely feel like she has guided me to be a better version of myself. She's helped me gain confidence in my decision-making.

Allyson was exactly the therapist I needed. She is responsive, articulate, insightful and always ready to give simple and actionable advice. I highly recommend working with her.

My husband and I are jointly seeking help for marital issues. Allyson has listened to all of our concerns/issues and has been very helpful in identifying some positive measures for us to take to get our relationship back on track. The On-Line aspect of BetterHelp.com is very convenient and makes seeking help easier than having to adhere to face-to-face appointments.

Allyson has been very helpful in guiding me through issues. She listens to what I say and is thoughtful about her responses. I feel that she understands when I am frustrated and is open to discussing things without judging right and wrong.
Written on Aug 06, 2015 after therapy with Allyson for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, intimacy-related, and depression
Allyson has been a HUGE help. She's been very encouraging and has helped me try and break down the road blocks I seem to have stuck in my head with certain subjects. It has been nice to hear confirmation and affirmation of certain things I've tried to tell myself, but have a hard time believing. She has definitely been a wonderful person to talk to and receive help from.
