Welcome to BetterHelp! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience in the social work field, and over 10 years experience in counseling adults, teenagers/ adolescents and couples. I believe in establishing a good rapport with you first and foremost, for counseling to be successful. I am an active listener, empathetic and non-judgmental.
Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, self esteem, parenting struggles, relationship issues, identity issues, life transitions, anger management, work/school issues, trauma, financial concerns, emotional abuse or grief/loss—I’m here to help you learn how to cope and meet your goals. In addition, I also have extensive experience working with individuals who have a diagnosis ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders, PTSD, and Substance Use Disorders.
I have my Bachelor Degree in Psychology from Michigan State University (1999) and my Master Degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University (2010.) I have successfully helped individuals and their families during my time working in foster care/CPS/adoption, Hospice, Community Mental Health, New Directions Behavioral Health, a private inpatient psychiatric & detox/rehab hospital and at a private counseling agency. When I’m not helping others at work, I’m spending time with my teenage boys (if they aren’t gaming!) and our pug, Lucy. We enjoy spending time by the water, watching the local Marching Band and making memories with extended family. Personally, I enjoy writing, reading, photography, napping and listening to music.
I strive to help you feel comfortable to discuss your situation and want to work together to help you develop realistic, achievable goals. I genuinely care about you and your well being. I wish you the very best on your journey!
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mandy Dalrymple. 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.
So far I have worked with Mandy for a bit over a week and she’s been very nonjudgmental. She’s given me practice worksheets as well as biblical encouragement. I am feeling more comfortable everyday with sharing with her and she has given me good analogies with good wise advice.
