Amber is the best! I have been using better help for a few years and have gone through 3 different therapists before I found Amber, and I instantly connected with her. She is very easy to talk to and genuinely a great person. Thanks Amber for everything!

Amber is the first therapist I have felt completely comfortable with and telling all my issues and she makes me feel safe telling her the hard stuff, and also give really good advice on how I can handle them.

Amber is a truly wonderful therapist to work with, she is well versed in a number of areas and always listens to your concerns to help you process and move past your trauma. She is very easy to talk with and relate to, I would recommend her to everyone!

Amber is awesome!
Written on Oct 15, 2024 after therapy with Amber for 4 months on issues concerning adhd
I’ve only been seeing Amber for a few months but I have been able to be more open with her than my previous therapist of 3 years. I feel very comfortable talking about things that bring me shame with others, and I’m very hopeful for what is to come.

Talking to Amber is like talking with a friend, but in the end it's non biased and you get a treatment plan!

I love that my therapist communicates with me. That she is human just like me, and that I'm not alone in my experience.

Amber has been a great help to me, especially when I can write her messages or send voice messages in critical moments. I had never experienced this, and can’t say how valuable it has been to me and my family.

When I first joined BetterHelp, I was feeling anxious and afraid of the unknown, and IF I will be put together with a therapist, who will understand me. I was connected with Amber and we bonded instantly. I felt like she understood me in ways I didn’t understand myself in the beginning. Throughout our sessions she helped me to see myself better, understand why am I here and how can I heal. She was sharing her own experiences and it not only helped me to open up to her better, but also helped me to realize that she really understands me, because I learned that we have had some similar experiences in our lives, which helped me to feel seen and like I am not alone. She’s an excellent therapist and an amazing person. I am thankful that I got to share the his part of my mental health journey with exactly her and no other therapist. Thank you, Amber!

I left Amber a review several months ago when I began to work with her and was immediately impressed. Now, about 6 months later, I can confidently say she has made a major impact on my self image, high anxiety, and relationships with other. I am finally realizing how far I've come and all the improvement I've made and so much of it can be attributed to how attentive, thoughtful, and insightful Amber has been during our sessions. It has been a pleasure and honor to work with her and get to know her. I am very grateful for all of the help she has given me!

Amber is a wonderful therapist. I have been seeing her for several months now and she has really helped me get to the root cause of many of my issues.

Amber is an amazing therapist. She is kind, compassionate, authentic, insightful and supportive. Amber is also encouraging and helpful. She‘s connected me with other resources to help me along my own journey. As a spiritual coach, she‘s guided ne with healing practices for me to connect to my own higher self. I considered myself lucky and blessed to have connected with Amber and found her as my therapist, because I have had others before her and never was able to connect with them on the same level as I do with her. While connecting on a deeper level with your therapist may not be for everyone, it is essential for me in order to really feel like I am understood and seen, and Amber totally gets me, which has allowed a greater trust to emerge. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone, especially those who are also looking for greater spiritual connection and insight within themselves.

She has really helped with my self esteem and my ability to change my mind set. It’s really helpful to have somebody who is able to use her experience to guide me through certain situation makes her more reliable. Would really recommend her if you want a supportive and also somebody who will hold you accountable.

Working with Amber was amazing! She’s so kind and supportive. And she provided me with lots of advice and tools which have helped me uncover some core negative beliefs that have been keeping me stuck. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Amber.

I noticed a dramatic shift in my anti-social and compulsive negative thoughts/beliefs very quickly with Amber. I loved that she gave me tools to work towards healthier states of mind, rather than just listening to what I had to say, which I have experienced with other mental health professionals. With her focus on getting to the root of my issues, I felt empowered to positively change my state of being! I would highly recommend her.

Amber did not make me feel like I am in therapy, it felt as though I was talking to a friend!
I connected with her instantly, it was my fist time being in therapy and I had no idea what to expect but I felt extremely comfortable. I imagined therapists to "analyze" you while you talk but that is certainly not the case with Amber! It is like talking to a friend, who shares her personal experiences with you if they are relevant to your therapy goals and that gives it a more "human" touch to the whole session. I have made a lot of progress with her in just a few sessions and I feel really happy with how I have come out as a person.
She shows genuine excitement and happiness when you make progress which is a delight to see each time. I would definitely reconnect with her again.

Amber has been absolutely fantastic to work with. She helped me get through a tough time in my relationship, helped me work on myself to identify and work through attachment issues, and paved a path for me to work on my social anxiety challenges.

It's a real person ! I must start with this as I thought would be there to just listen and ask questions and be a counsellor. But no, is like talking with a friend with knowledge and understands you without judgment and can tell this by her face expression. Is an honest and warm person. Was the right person at the right time for me and thank you Amber for that !
