I have worked with Amy for a few weeks which isn’t a long time, but I feel comfortable in chatting with her. We have a couple of things in common so I think that is really going to help.

Amy is an angel. I am so thankful to BetterHelp for connecting me with such a capable, kind, positive person! She is a great listener and really cares about me. Her advice and loving nature has made an enormous difference in my life.
I was very nervous about starting therapy, but Amy made me feel at ease immediately.
I initially began this journey to navigate anxiety and past traumas. Weeks later, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a life-altering illness. Amy was there to support me in what became one of the most difficult experiences of my life.
Her help went beyond our weekly sessions.
One week, I told her that I was getting stressed out about some issues with my medical treatments and insurance: long story short, some complicated paperwork and unhelpful insurance agents were standing in the way of urgent medical procedures that I really needed.
Without hesitation, Amy offered to make calls to my doctor and insurance on my behalf. With her experience in the healthcare industry, she was able to successfully advocate for me, and I am now fast-tracked to getting a life-changing procedure!
I could not have untangled these emotional or practical issues on my own.
Thank you Amy for helping me in so many ways!
I highly recommend her for any patient looking for someone who really cares. It feels so wonderful to have someone who is in my corner. Amy is simply the best!

She is very friendly with a soft approach. With more sensitive issues she strongly gives the impression of the “deep listener.”
