These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Allison Burnam. 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.
Allison is a great listener. I also love her recall and dot connecting between past and recent things I’ve shared. I love the challenging questions and resource material she suggests. I’m glad I have Allison as my therapist.
Recently I referred a friend to Betterhelp. While we were in a zoom call he looked it up and started the process of perusing his enrollment. He’s out of state so I told him he would likely be given a different person. I told him I’m sure he will be pleased.

Allison has been a key piece in my healing and growth from complex PTSD. She is thoughtful and insightful and has an extraordinary gift for truly listening to someone in a deep and meaningful way. I have been in therapy on and off for 30 years and this is by far the most progress I have made!

Allison is extremely kind and very thoughtful. She’s a great listener and also provides really helpful advice and ideas for how to manage whatever it is you’re struggling with. She’s been nothing short of great!

This year has been full of a lot of changes, growing pains, and stress - Allison has been so supportive in helping me navigate all of it! She uses all the tools BetterHelp has and I am so grateful I can send her a message when I am having a bad day.

Allison is great, however I wish I could schedule sessions in Better Help more than just once at a time in advance to help with consistency and keep a regular schedule.

This has been a Godsend
Written on May 10, 2021 after therapy with Allison for 1 month on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
Allison has helped me through a period of transition and processing trauma from recent years and back through childhood, especially the religious trauma that has affected my relationship with myself and others. I highly recommend her!

I’ve only had a few sessions with Allison but have felt almost immediately at ease and relaxed in their presence. It feels easy to be open and honest even with parts of myself that are usually hard to open up about. I appreciate that while I feel Allison being neutral and supportive in listening to me and really hearing my thoughts and concerns, Allison will also offer input that I find useful and engaging (compared to other experiences I’ve had where the counselor just feels too much at a distance). It feels like talking with a good friend, while staying present and aware in their professionalism and their clear expertise in counseling and therapy. I have seen at least five other therapists and have never felt this sense of ease or desire to continue therapy before (usually I would feel closed off and uncomfortable still after 3 or 4 sessions and then discontinue). I am looking forward to digging deeper with their guidance.

She is amazing. Perfect for someone in their early 2020s, and she makes me, a person who has trouble talking with most people, extremely comfortable.

Alison has been and continues to help me through probably the hardest time of my life to date, speaking openly with her has helped me with parts if my life that if I'm honest I never felt comftable speaking to anyone about. Shes helping me retrain my thought process and understand my situation which is helping me cope with it.
Shes has given me tools to help see things diffrently, shes very kind and caring, shes truly changed my scepticism around seaking help.
