These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Elam. 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.
I found Amy Elam to be very professional. She listened to all my concerns and helped me to remain positive and focused on the tasks ahead. She’s also very kind and relatable, very easy to talk to. Definitely someone I would highly recommend.
