These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Andrea Strayer. 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.
When signing up for Better Help I noticed it asked what type of therapist I would want. I recall selecting someone who is more casual and I think I’ve been paired appropriately. I feel comfortable after only a few sessions with Andrea to share my true feelings, without any need to modify the exact sentiment I’m experiencing at the time. She gives me the space to word vomit while also trying to bring it back to things we can do to make forward progress. I value that I can say what I want, how I want, without feeling judgement. She also gives me the space to feel valid in my thoughts and feelings, sharing personal experiences which help with not feeling like you’re the only person who feels that way.

She does a great job of listening and offering advice when I am seeking it. She also does a great job of being real with me which is important.

Andrea is always a text away and always there for me when I need her the most. Going on 8 months of talking to her and I feel calmer and more at peace with my life. Whenever people on the internet ask about therapy, I always recommend Better Help. I don't know where I'd be without it.
