Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Saarnio Wyka. 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.
Amy is very understanding and supportive. She listens to me and so far always has something helpful to help me try to work on thing I want to better. She also gives very good examples for experience that you may not realize how your perceiving things or responding to them in order to help you see clearly and to show she understands. Which I find very helpful because we all sometimes need that friendly and supportive eye opener that many of us do not receive or if we do it is not supportive or friendly how she does it.
