Kamay is the best therapist I have ever had. She is very attentive and shows me that she cares about my wellbeing. She checks in on my even when we don't have a session planned and when I'm in crisis, she will free time up to see me. She's been a constant light in my life for the past 2 years and I know I wouldn't be where I am today without her. Losing my mom was hard on my mental state and life, and the pandemic made the situation worse when I couldn't see my family. The first 2 therapists I had ghosted me after just a few messages and I was about to give up on online therapy. But something told me to try again with BetterHelp and I was matched with Kamay first. Obviously, it's working for me! She's helped me with the loss and dealing with the emotions associated with it. Also with navigating my new found independence and living on my own. Even when I reconnected with my exe, I don't think I would have been able to navigate (or even acknowledge) the feelings I had for him and dispel the negative thoughts that would have crippled me in the past. Now he and I are working towards a future together and I know that wouldn't have been possible without her. She's amazing and I only hope to have her with me for a long time.

Kamay has been very helpful throughout my marital issues and discovering my sexuality and personal identity.
She is excellent about reaching out and making extra time for me if I’m not okay which means a lot to me.
Kamay makes me feel like a person, and not a number, which personally I worried about going through an app for counseling.

I have a very difficult time connecting and communicating with most people, and I'd never done therapy before. I'm very glad to have met Kamay. She was knowledgeable, kind, and patient when I didn't know what to say or how to say it.

I’ve been to a lot of therapists growing up. From my personal experience, my previous therapists only listened to what I said—they never fully gave me advice or coping mechanisms. I was very happy to see that Kamay listened to me the first couple sessions and then offered coping mechanisms and ways to adjust my current situation. She’s very considerate and offers different points of views. She’s been great!

I went through a few different counselors before I was matched with Kamay. This is my first time in therapy and I have never felt more seen. She really listens to me and gives me useful feedback. I experienced a grave loss and my life felt like it was never going to move forward. Today I finally feel myself again and it’s thanks to her.

I find it hard to open up to anyone and kamay has made it easy for me to do so and even after a few sessions talking with her it has helped me in my communication in my personal life. She makes me feel comfortable which allows me to talk through certain difficulties and allows me to bounce my thoughts off her and gives me advise based on what I say which helps me see things from a different perspective.
Simply put she has helped me.
And a plus if you’re a animal lover she has a flock of chickens that help her and she as a wonderful sense of humor to lighten the mood!!!

Kamay is a generous and thoughtful person, with a ton of experience, who gives a lot of herself to support others. I would recommend her a thousand times over.
With that being said, it seems like she is being overburdened by betterhelp and suggest they ease off to maintain a valuable asset.

Kamay is a very thoughtful counselor who expertly guides each conversation, knowing when to listen, and when to ask more questions. She creates a comfortable, inviting environment where I can feel truly supported and talk without losing focus on what brought me there. I love that she checks in with me weekly, in between sessions, which gives me a sense of security knowing I can reach out to her outside our scheduled times. Her sincere approach to her work really shines through.
