I have been doing counseling for over 35 years. When I lived in Pennsylvania, I worked as a school counselor in a high school for 28 years and also maintained a private practice. Since moving to Florida, I worked in a private practice in which I specialized in both adolescents and adults. I also work with families and couples. I worked at Better Help before and formed many successful relationships with clients. I consider myself to be an eclectic counselor who is genuine, supportive, and empathetic. I have been in therapy many times and definitely understand how helpful it can be to have someone who is in your corner, advocating and believing solely in you. I consider myself liberal and non-judgmental and I would be surprised if there was something you could tell me that I have not heard before, I also have a strong sense of humor and know that humor has saved me many times from my own issues. I received my Master's degree in 1980 in Marriage, family, and Child Counseling, but I consider that my life experience just as important in having added to my counseling skills. Many counselors can learn from books, but I incorporate all I have learned in my own life experience into the work I do with clients. Let's talk.
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Matthews. 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 instantly knew I would be comfortable with Amy in the first session we had. She’s easy to talk to and has great tips for dealing with my issue.

I had to try a few different counselors before I found Amy. I feel like we connected well. I feel a trust I hadn't before. She's very knowledgeable and understanding. She listens to me in a way that makes me feel heard. I feel like she understands my concerns and offers great advice.

I’ve always been scared of counseling and avoided it for many years but this platform made it easier and Amy is brilliant and settled me in very quickly by asking all the right questions. She checks up on me too if I’ve been quiet for a couple of days. Such a relief to feel like someone cares.

Amy always listens to me and makes suggestions that I would never have thought about. She has knowledge about multiple fields. If I don't respond for a couple of days then she contacts me to check in and is very understanding of all my concerns. I often feel like I'm not heard but Amy makes sure that I feel heard and understood. She understands my aversion to medication and she has to provided me the information about medications as well as other options without pushing me. I have recommended her to my co-worker who struggles with similar issues to mine and she already loves Amy based on my sessions that I've allowed her to listen to. Thank you Amy

Amy was a true gem! She helped me realize many things about myself and what I know now to be a family history and a genetic component to what I have going on. My mindful and soul searching journey back to myself and my husband could not have happened without her. Do yourself a favor and talk and listen to her. Thank you again so very much!! I’ll never be able to repay you for what you have given me.
