These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amanda Wilkinson. 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.
I've had my first session with Amanda, and she really heard me and was able to offer some amazing insights. There were many new perspectives I was able to take away from our first conversation to think about during the week. She also responds via messages within a very quick timeframe. I'm looking forward to continuing my conversations with her. :)
