I have been to many different therapists, both online and in-person and Amy is the best I've ever had. I feel her genuine care for me in every post she sends. I recommend BetterHelp to my friends because of the amazing support I've received from Amy.

Amy is a thoughtful, skilled, and is a responsive counselor. The BetterHelp format is cathartic. The writing narrative and skilled counselor response enables you to move forward in your development through the interactive platform. Merci

Amy has been really supportive and I always look forward to her replies. She helps me see clarity and viewpoints that no one else in my current situation sees and is compassionate. I feel like I can talk with her without judgement and that she understands and gives great advice.

Amy is amazing. I've never had a counselor before, so I was a little scared to divulge intimate details about myself. I feel safe with, and understood by her. She's gentle with her responses, which makes telling her my life very easy. I highly recommend her! :)

I really enjoy working with Amy because she is non-judgmental and gentle in how she provides guidance. It feels like she is really listening, and she has thoughtful comments on how to get through the tough times. I also like that she doesn't always have to be right; if I disagree with her, she's open to talking about it and figuring out what works best for me.

Amy is a great listener and she really makes me feel heard. But she also challenges me to see things from my partner's point of view; really helps me better understand things from different views. It's so nice to have someone to confide in with no judgement!

Amy actually listens to what you write and pays careful attention!

Although I have only worked with Amy for a week, she has proven to be compassionate, gentle, and nonjudgmental in her approach. It's clear that she puts great thought and care into her responses. Whenever I become particularly negative, she is able to redirect my flow of thoughts into more positive and self-affirming territory. I appreciate that she asks probing questions to try to get at the heart of my issues, and I also appreciate that she provides some type of homework, whether that be adopting relaxation techniques or writing down a list of things that provide me with pleasure. She also remembers what she's asked me to do in prior sessions and holds me accountable. Other therapists I have seen in the past would sometimes forget what we discussed, which didn't give me much confidence in their leadership. Although I recognize that the patient is largely responsible for directing the conversation, every captain must also have a helmsman! I would recommend Amy to anyone in need of emotional support through life's tribulations, whether they be minor hiccups or deep psychological wounds from childhood. Online therapy may not provide a face to look at, but make no mistake--in the right hands, this works!

Amy has been a wonderful counselor to work with. This is my first time ever seeking counseling and it has been a very pleasant and helpful experience so far. I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone that could use an honest, sincere and insightful person to chat with.

Amy Benedict is like my bff, confidant, councilor, mentor, and all wrapped in on profession. She really gets into perspective and is very caring and just knows what to say. I'm dealing with a lot of my inner demons, so when I go on the site and I feel I can deal with them properly. Instead of ignoring or running away from my problems. She's one of the best of the best. Makes me relieve there are good people.
