Amanda listens to everything but also has great advice. I highly recommend her

Amanda is amazing! She is compassionate and kind. She will uncover and ask questions to really get to the heart of the issue. Cannot thank her enough!
Written on Sep 24, 2024 after therapy with Amanda for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, and coping with life changes
Amanda is amazing! She always talks me through whatever is going on in a way that’s effective for how I’m feeling in that moment. I’ve found so much comfort in her ability to walk me to the root of my issue and find a way through it. She’s both very empathetic and also straightforward when it’s necessary in a way a close friend might not always be. Truly could not recommend Amanda more!

Amanda is a wonderful listener. She's great at asking the important, thought-provoking questions and helping you to explore further the things that best help or hinder your progress towards your goals.

Amanda has had such a positive impact on my life and ability to manage my anxiety. She is always kind, thoughtful, and supportive but also gives me the hard truths I need. She goes out of her way to record/remember the names of my family, coworkers and friends as well as remembers the small details either about my life or what techniques work for me personally. Betterhelp is a decent platform, but Amanda is the absolute best.
