These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda Edwards. 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.
Great therapist, kind and open-minded person. Expertise in anxiety, trauma, and much more. I felt understood immediately and reached my therapy goal to start recognizing irrational thoughts, negative feelings, and bad coping mechanisms/behavior better. Can highly recommend Amanda!
