These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Wilder. 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 an excellent listener and is very reassuring. She helped me realize that I don't need to live up to anyone's expectations but my own. She helped me find balance when the world appeared tilted against me. Thank you Amy you're awesome!
