These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Pamela Thompson. 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.
She is a good listener. It is easy to talk to her.

I have worked with therapists off and on for years and it's often the connection you make with the person. Pamela doesn't tell me what to do to address my issues. She asks me questions and gets me to thinking and helps to guide me but it's never a situation where someone is saying, "Well, if you would just do it this way, you would be better off." She knows how to ask the questions that just make me think things through when I've been stalled out and going nowhere.

I was reluctant to do this online however it has been a good thing. I feel heard and understood Pam checks on me even in-between my sessions. She has went above and beyond as a therapist.

From the very beginning Pamela was genuinely concerned about my mental health and thoroughly informative about my concerns regarding my mental health and ways to prevent a decrease in some of my more serious episodes as I would like to call them.
Pamela takes the time to listen and yet Give positive feedback at the same time,I hands down would not hesitate to recommend the better help platform to those who struggle with day-to-day battles in hopes
That I would encounter a therapist such as Pamela
