Nancy is wonderful. I have tried working with multiple counselors and she is the first that I have actually enjoyed and feel like I am getting help. She is great about offering the right amount of bluntness that I need to exam my current beliefs. I would definitely recommend her!

Nancy worked with me by doing the chat sessions due to my being uneasy with phone sessions and such. She provides me with worksheets that help very much and gives me great advice on ways to help me cope with everyday life stressors and such.

Best therapist I’ve seen in years! Most professional, thorough and knowledgeable. If you’re on the fence about seeking a good therapist look no further Nancy is incredible. I’m so happy she’s my therapist.

I only had a few sessions with Nancy during my trial but she was so great! I felt very comfortable from the beginning and was always at ease with her. She was very professional and warm and I would definitely come back to her should I resume using Betterhelp in the future.

Nancy Avalone is a wonderful counselor!! I honestly don’t have a lot to say because my experience in itself was beyond what words can describe. She is definitely top tier.
