Great therapist
Amanda is a great therapist!
Amanda is an asset to the BetterHelp community. She is one of the most genuine people I have met. She is knowledgeable and tailors her sessions to target areas of growth. Amanda offers information on researched based interventions to give patients the appropriate coping skills needed in daily functioning. It has been an absolute joy learning from Amanda, and I know there is much more to go!
Thank you for giving me the love I’ve never had.
I can’t say enough good things about Amanda. She is responsive to my concerns and addresses issues that are important to me. She provides many different techniques/strategies to assist me. I enjoy working with her very much.
Amanda is an excellent therapist:she really listens, is very insightful and I’ve made a lot of progress working with her. Grateful she does EMDR, too!
Give her a raise please, she’s helping so much!!
My therapist is great. She listens and actually tries to find a way to help me work through everything.
Amanda appears to be knowledgeable and in tune to what is happening with me emotionally. She is straightforward answers your question redirects as needed.
Great to talk to
I mean I have tried so many things & this is literally the only helpful professional I’ve ever had in the past decade+. I could not be more thankful, pleased, excited, grateful, & more for the opportunity to use this resource & it work perfectly for me, so that I can hopefully have it for as long as I need it! I could not praise or recommend it enough to anyone who needs even the slightest bit of help if they’re struggling b/c I was about at the end of options & my mind & personally, my therapist & then overall experience as well has been more than I could of dreamt of or asked for & I would recommend it & do it a million times over & hope to be here for a long time, so that I can say I put the work in & I’m ridiculously grateful of the help I receive. Idk if everyone gets as “lucky” w/ their therapist, but it’s basically as much as the price of a “therapist” w/ my insurance & this is SO MUCH BETTER, helpful, & conducive to literally bettering my mental health than anything I’ve tried or been given in the past decade or two.
