These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Culbert-Burgess. 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.
So far she's been very kind and listens to my concerns and has seemed confident that we can work through all of my issues, however I feels it's too soon for a full on review so I will further my review after a few more sessions.

A key part of Amy’s therapeutic practice is to normalize what you are going through by relating your experience to her personal life, where she indicates that she has experienced something similar to what you have in order to make you feel less isolated. While this is not an approach that works for me as someone who prefers to have a therapist who asks questions that lead me to pull on my own experiences to address what I am navigating, if you are someone who is looking to have this form of therapeutic relationship Amy is very friendly and non-judge mental.

I am extremely grateful to have Amy as a counselor. She always listens to me, respects me, and encourages me. Amy has offered me a safe space to share my struggles. I have seen a lot of growth and healing in areas that we have been working on during our times together, which I am so very thankful for.
