I did not think that therapy worked for me until I started working with Aprile. She is incredibly compassionate and caring, but will also help you hold yourself accountable. I have made so much progress since I began talking with her.

I started seeing Aprile back in June of 2019. I had so many events that hit me all at once. My scale of how I felt in a day varied dramatically. I would be at a 8 and then plummet to a 1 in the span of a day. Aprile really helped me to stabilize my scale by teaching me about self care, setting goals for myself and listening to what was happening in my life. After nine months, I decided to end my session with Aprile because I felt better and stable compared to when I first started. Aprile also felt it was time and we did an overview of my goals for coming to Betterhelp and of how I felt then versus now. I would definitely use Betterhelp and Aprile's services again. Thank you Aprile and Betterhelp! You changed my life for the better!

Aprille has been amazingly helpful at a difficult time in my life. She has been available and responsive. Therapy is new for me. If not for Aprille’s soft spoken, thoughtful words I probably not be continuing therapy.

This is my first time and using a counselor, and at first was skeptical of doing it for actually virtually. However, Aprile has been very patient and responsive with my messages and issues, proving to always be there when I am in the most need in crises.When we spoke, I didn’t feel like she was very far, and she is always very caring. She gives me very important advice that has helped me overcome my depression, and I have seen great progress and how I deal with my own problems. Would highly recommend Aprile to someone else who is in need, especially people who are grieving and who have relationship issues.

I'm very thankful to Aprile. She is a great therapist. She listened to me and understood root cause of the depression of mine which even I wasn't sure. I only knew I was very sad and not able to do anything. But Aprile made sure I understand myself and my problems and my solutions. I'm very grateful that I got to work with Aprile on my mental illness.

I can't thank Aprile enough and I am truly grateful for what I have been able to achieve with her. She not only guided me through difficult situations, but also challenged me to face my issues front on. I'm so glad I got matched up with Aprile because she made me feel so comfortable and valued. I found myself constantly looking forward to our weekly sessions and Aprile really took counselling to another level for me, I was able to speak freely and talk to her like a friend. As a result of our sessions, I've achieved a lot of mental clarity and I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I joined BetterHelp after going through a difficult year and having to cope with a change in my body, but with some new life changes ahead. I was struggling to cope with all of this, and Aprile immediately helped. She is passionate about what she does, and she taught me how to use lifelong tools that now empower me to cope with the negative and appreciate the positive in my life. She always listened to me and helped me be kind to myself and deal with every difficulty that I encountered in this journey. I am happy and grateful for the time spent working with Aprile on my mental wellbeing. Thank you so much. :)

I chose Aprile as my therapist as I wanted someone that I could connect with, I needed to tell my story to a black woman that I could bond and trust her guidance. It was meant to bewith Aprile. Aprile has helped me to rebuild myself, I feel stronger and confidence and at this point ready to apply everything that I have learnt with her. She has help me to shape my confidence, to work in my black mixed identity, building a healthier and loving relationship with myself. Uplifting me whilst dealing with a break up, welcoming my break through and providing me with tips to deal with SAD. I believe I could have done everything by myself however it would have taken longer maybe years. Her support has been key in my healing journey and definitely I will come back to work with her, whenever I feel I need a bit of extra support in my life journey.

Thanks Aprile.

I’ve been working with Aprille for quite some time. She has helped me through difficulties with a certain relationship and also issues with infertility. When I first made the decision to try BH I was desperate and felt like I couldn’t breathe. I was afraid of what was to come and how I was going to get through things. I’m so glad I was matched with Aprile, as she is so kind and caring and knows exactly how to give one the tools they need to become stronger and believe in themselves. I will be eternally grateful for her help and I feel a lot more confident in myself now that I have all these tools I can use to help me going forward.

Aprile has been amazing with providing me with skills and tools to help better manage my anxiety and relationships. She helps me to understand the method and background behind solid strategies that I can use on a daily basis, and provides articles to refer to. She's also very supportive while also being realistic and provides both encouragement and constructive feedback; always things I need to hear!

Written on Nov 20, 2018 after therapy with Aprile for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, and self esteem

I decided to join Betterhelp because I was in a relationship that I felt very weak in, some may call it a toxic relationship. Before I started working with Aprile Andelle I was having mixed feelings of anxiety, stress, and frustration. I always felt drained and had no control over my life
anymore. Aprile helped me learn more about myself and how I can take full control over my life by simply deciding to take a step towards change. Aprile’s Solution focused based Approach helped me in becoming proactive as we worked through the problem I was facing. She helped me understand what I really want in a relationship, and helped me practice setting healthy boundaries that lead to my comfort. When I first joined betterhelp I was a bit skeptical about the online counseling method, I also wasn't sure whether the counselor I was going to be paired to could really help me. However Aprile Andelle was even more than what I expected. She really knows what she's talking about and she helped me transition to a whole new state of mind. Now that I am done with counseling I can say that my experience with Aprile was very positive and successful. I feel that I am empowered to take lead of my life and every step within it. I am very comfortable with everything
that has become and I’m also very grateful for it.

Aprile is a very attentive and aware counselor. When she knows that something might affect you, she takes that into consideration in working with you, whether its to encourage positive outcomes or to help avert potential negative effects. I appreciate her detail-oriented approach a lot!

Though my time with BetterHelp and Ms. Aprile Andelle was short, she helped me tremendously in a period of serious need. She helped me to see through the darkness of the turbulent storm I was in, serving as the lighthouse that guided me back to safer shores, encouraging me to use healthy tools and techniques at my disposal to paddle along. I highly recommend Ms. Andelle to young people dealing with all the building stresses of life, from entrepreneurship to personal relationships.

Aprile is lovely, receptive, upbeat and really positive. She listens, and has been constructive and honest.

Aprile has been amazing! I have tried counselling before and I hated it. I get so excited for our weekly calls and it's nice to have someone to talk to when I am in need instead of waiting for my next session.
She is an amazing listener and really encourages me to grow and become better. She is always using positive reinforcement to help encourage me to keep going.

Written on Apr 19, 2018 after therapy with Aprile for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related, sleeping, and self esteem

Before working together I was feeling very insecure, I had many personal issues going on in my life. Aprile helped me to look within myself and reach out to God to be able to rebuild my own security, she also gave me very constructive advice in my relationships. And the most important she helped me feel like I wasn't alone of crazy for thinking, or feeling like I was feeling. She never judged me, and feeling free to be myself and feeling the worth of my actions through the scope of a person who is trying the best she can to be better, and understood, was worth everything to me. Now I feel much more secure, I am able to understand myself better as well as my emotions, I also am braver, and have been able to face in a very logical way the different mountains in my life and process them in a healthy way.

Aprile was absolutely amazing. She has such a wonderful and positive energy. I have only been using this platform for just over a month but I already have so much more of a positive outlook that I no longer feel I need counseling. She really tunes into you as an individual and customizes her approach based on what you need, and she’s asks the right questions that make you think and actually often come to the right conclusions on your own which puts your problems into a perspective. I will genuinely miss speaking to her on a regular basis but that just shows how great she was. :)

Aprile has been a great help in the short time we worked together. She’s a great listener, very understanding and made a lot of suggestions on ways to deal with my situations. She is very informative, a great communicator and just a sweetheart. I’m so grateful for her help. I would recommend both Aprile and BetterHelp to anyone looking for counseling services.

Aprils has been wonderful, and I couldn't have asked for a better counselling experience so far. I was nervous to begin, but have found that Aprile has made it so comfortable for me to talk things through with her, and has already helped guide me through a difficult decision in my life & relationship. I'm so grateful to have her guidance & couldn't recommend her enough.

I’d like to put out there that I really appreciated the help I got from y’all. Aprile Andelle was so kind and understand. She really helped me get through conflicting thoughts and feelings toward myself. I had a vehicle accident and since talking with her have had easier times in a vehicle with way less stress. She helped me recognize things in myself for what they are and that they’re very overcome-able. Definitely feeling empowered and able to move forward. Thank you again Aprile!

I was completely new to counseling and found an easy and soft way in with Aprile's help. She helped me on a family matter with hinting on the options I had to solve it, but without being pushy. It helped me start conversations in my family in a way I would have normally been too stubborn to chose. I'm very grateful to her for showing my how helpful counseling can be and I feel I'm now ready too seek face-to-face advice by a counselor in my own city and language. Thanks Aprile.

I had Aprile as my consultant for a month. I was in deep depression and I didn't know what I was going to do with the depression. After I started with BetterHelp and started talking to Aprile Andelle, I felt less lonely. She supported me and helped me through some tough times. She gave me lots of advice that actually made a difference in my life. With her help I went to my doctor, and my doctor referred me to a psychiatrist. I'm going to have an appointment with the psychiatrist next week. It's a big step I ever have made in my entire life. I have hopes that I will be better and have a healthy life. And it's all thanks to my counselor, Aprile Andelle.
