Audrey has been truly wonderful. I’ve been working with her for a little over a year now, and she has helped me to reach a level of emotional and mental balance in my daily life that I honestly didn’t think was possible. I genuinely look forward to our sessions every week, and she always makes sure to get back to me as quickly as possible whenever I message her with any concerns I have. I’d highly recommend Audrey’s services to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or depression and wants to get back to a healthy headspace.

Audrey has been an amazing therapist for me. She’s a great listener and has helped me improve myself tremendously in all aspects of my life in our time together. She’s also very quick with her message replies and provides tons of worksheets that help grasp the ‘therapy concepts’ we discuss in sessions. I highly recommend her!

Audrey has been brilliant for me, we only had 2 weeks together as I was leaving the states to go home, but she prepared me immensely for my trip back, and to deal with ongoing personal and family issues with coping mechanisms. I'm incredibly glad to have had time with her. Thanks Audrey.

I am so thankful for Audrey! It is such a relief to have found a therapist who really listens to my needs and understands my goals. She has helped me to more clearly see the impacts of my mindset and behaviors and how small shifts can make a world of difference in reaching my goals. She is FULL of practical tips and tools to implement into every day life, many of which have become part of my (and my family's) daily routines. She is deeply insightful and a true partner on my journey. Our sessions are always productive, and almost always end with laughter. Thank you Audrey!

My time with Audrey Spirakis has been amazing. For the past five years I’ve been in and out of deciding to go to therapy and when I finally joined, it was a huge relief. Obviously I was extremely nervous at first, I had never done therapy before, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Audrey has been nothing but patient and compassionate with me. Last year was one of the craziest years I have ever gone through. I had great moments, like getting married and finally moving into our first house after a huge and stressful waiting period. But I also had some pretty low moments; my dog died.. and my dad almost died a month later with blood clots in his lungs as well as through the right side of his body. I had terrible work experiences with jobs that could care less about the well-being of their employees, with excess responsibility placed on me, and I had poor mental health that was leading me to believe I could never work hard enough to get to where I wanted to be in life. My attitude was far from optimistic and I was stuck in the “why is this happening to me” mindset. But Audrey has improved my look on so many things. I have been able to vent freely without criticism from her and she is so happy to hear how I progress with myself. I would recommend her to anybody, genuinely, she’s given me huge optimism, and motivation to keep pushing towards my goals and dreams. Thank you Audrey.

Audrey is fantastic! She is incredibly kind and caring and always makes me feel heard in our sessions. She genuinely cares about her patients and has great insight that is helping me get my life together and deal with past and present issues. The environment that Audrey creates has made me comfortable and confident enough to really start to open up and address the things that I don't want to talk about. I appreciate her so much and always look forward to our sessions. I cannot recommend her enough!

I was so glad to be paired with Audrey! While I only had a few sessions due to personal reasons, I felt like I was able to walk away with fresh perspectives and useful action steps. She was patient and kind in listening to my story and concerns. She knew just the right questions to ask to make me think about my concerns in a fresh light and helped me reframe them. She was able to help me condense my scattered thoughts into something cohesive that we can then work from. If I return to BetterHelp in the future, I will be reaching back out to work with Audrey. I definitely recommend her and her expertise!

Audrey is AMAZING! She’s helped me learn a lot about myself that I wouldn’t have been able to learn on my own. She has great techniques when it comes to managing my anxiety. She tells you straight forward what’s best for you. And she’s super polite, always on time and is an awesome listene! I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist!!

Audrey is awesome! I've been with other therapists before and they were great, but didn't really challenge me, and as soon as I requested Audrey to do that, she did! I really appreciated that because I know I'm the type of person that likes to be challenged and I'm glad she was willing to put me out of my comfort zone sometimes. Very compassionate, understanding, and totally not judgmental. Highly recommend! :)

She is really awesome and can detect the core aspect of my concerns.
I never thought I was a person with anger issues, but after talking to her, and thinking about it, I learned that I was "avoiding" the anger, anger that starts with key aspects of my life, not with everyday situations. That's how I learned that just because "I'm not exploding with anger for everything" does not mean that "I don't have anger issues".
I highly, highly recommend her.
She is awesome.
