Amanda McLean

I think it was pure luck that I got matched with Amanda, but I am so happy that I was! I signed up for BetterHelp through an EAP with my work to deal with an urgent social issue. Eventually that issue was resolved, but I chose to continue working with Amanda on my relationships, which I hadn’t nurtured through therapy in the past. The text based therapy was very new to me, but worked really well for my personal communication style. Whether in an instant messaging session, or communicating through our general chat portal, I always felt listened to and respected by Amanda, and responded to in a timely fashion. I valued her familiarity with the LGBTQ+ community, and non-traditional relationship styles.

I have had great progress with my codependency. Also every session Amanda says something that absolutely blows my mind. She is extremely insightful and really listens

Has been an amazing support I have changed my opinion about therapy in a good way.

amanda has been very supportive, encouraging, and accomodating so far. i'm looking forward to continuing our work together.

Therapy has been a very new, and much needed experience for me. Amanda has gently eased me into the process, and makes hard conversations easy. Would recommend highly to anyone I know.

Amanda is amazing! She is a great listener and always know just want to say or what advice to give me.

Amanda was a fantastically accommodating, friendly, stabilizing influence in a time where I felt like I had no one to turn to. She met me where I was and helped me build up my good habits and coping mechanisms, piece by piece, to the point where I feel comfortably self sufficient. I greatly appreciate her help.

I have always been nervous to start therapy and finding Amanda McLean has been amazing for me. She’s super kind and helpful and has made the process so easy for me!

Amanda has helped pull me back to the surface and begin to navigate through some tough family issues. The validation has made me feel like a new person - a thousand times lighter! I feel seen and heard through messaging in my own time. No pressure to have to set an appointment or be on camera is awesome. I get the help I need without having phone or video anxiety to worry about.

I was very skeptical of therapy and if I could find someone who would take on my long list of concerns. Amanda is more than I could have hoped for. She is smart, kind, and great at her job.

Amanda has helped me in more ways than I can count. I've been to therapy before and this time I was very certain I needed a direct approach. We were able to narrow down all of my issues to just a couple to start with. We're still a work in progress but I feel confident I'll benefit from this experience with Amanda!

She is through provoking and insightful

Amanda helped me so much when I was in a dark place. Months later, I'm doing so much better because of her help. She's been an amazing therapist to me!

she is AMAZING. She is so thorough on understanding your concerns and address them. She walk you through her whole process which i have enjoyed. Would definitely recommend her as a therapist to other friends.

Amanda is extremely attentive and a great listener. She asks a lot of questions that make you think and gives constructive feedback.

Thank you Amanda. Looking forward to continuing with you!

Amanda has been a wonderful asset for me as I pursue mental stability through a very tricky life change. She is kind, gentle, and provides me with materials and tools to help work through some of my struggles. I am very grateful to be in Amanda's care.

She has been great so far and very responsive. I’m feeling more comfortable with her as we move forward and she’s very helpful with how the process goes and what to expect.

I LOVE Amanda! I've never felt more heard and understood by a therapist. I'm so lucky to have been matched with her; she's helping me to survive the most tramatic and miserable time of my life. <3

I love working with Amanda because I feel like she understands my issues and is thoughtful in her responses.

This is my first time working with someone on my mental health. I was a little nervous about feeling like I could open up to someone but I find Amanda very easy to talk to. I think it’s going well so far.

Amanda is wonderful and this is the best experience I've had in counseling

Working with Amanda has been great, I feel very heard, and like she genuinely cares for me. I look forward to my sessions with her, sharing the ins and outs of my life and seeing what she recommends/thinks about it.

She is attentive and I appreciate being able to communicate with her more frequently than I would if I had been in regular counseling. Sometimes I wish her responses were longer but overall I am glad I have a professional to talk about things with.

Amanda is amazing! She is understanding and approaches my concerns perfectly. I thought I needed someone to tell me what to do but Amanda helped me realize that I knew what to do all along, she just asked the questions that helped me get my though process back on track.

As a first timer in therapy, i am glad i got Amanda. She listens to everything i have to say and in the few conversations ive had with her she has already helped me realize multiple things and making ne question myself (in a good way).

Amanda McLean has been very helpful with good advice for dealing with my problems. She listens very well, is very warm and kind, and makes me feel comfortable about opening up to her. She is very knowledgeable in her fields and has suggested lots of good reading material to help with my specific issues.

Amanda is thoughtful in her questions and statements. She connects with me often but in meaningful ways, not just generic comments. She is really helping me during this difficult time.

I love how Amanda asked me so much early on, what I wanted and what I was looking for? Things like does that resonate with you? How did that make you feel? What do you need in order xyz? She’s been funny and caring like a friend would be, and shares guidance with out being too prescriptive.

Amanda is great! She is very supportive and validates emotions while also challenging you to dig deeper into some thoughts, providing exercises

Highly recommend Amanda, she’s very patient, understanding, thoughtful and kind.

Amanda has been great. Available in some of my most despairing moments to talk me through my anxiety. Will hope to continue with her long term. Thank you Amanda!
