These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Regina Ambs. 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.
Regina is such a thoughtful and patient listener, I always appreciate her insight in anything I bring to her. She’s helping me through so much between family, relationship, and work situations. I feel like I’ve already gained so much mental and emotional strength from being able to talk to her. She always offers practical advice and tips, and is willing to meet me where I’m at to help me move forward. I highly recommend her expertise!

Regina was my therapist for about 2 years, and she was absolutely phenomenal. The only reason I stopped was because she helped get me to a place where I felt I could use the tools I'd learned in therapy on my own. If I do decide I need to jump back in, I'd go right back to Regina.
She is a wonderful, nonjudgmental listener - she knows how to let you work out the thoughts on your own and also chime in with reflections when necessary. She is very diligent with notes and remembers lots of details from our sessions, so that when we reflect back on them at later dates, she can build on the context. I always leave the sessions feeling validated, while also having extra guidance to push me to develop myself and my emotions further. She's also great at noting specific topics that come up from our sessions and sharing extra worksheets/readings afterward - for example, she proactively shared guidance on grieving when we discussed the passing of my grandparents.
I've always felt so comfortable sharing my feelings with Regina - whether it's feelings of anger, anxiety, or just a need to cry - and she always makes me feel empowered to handle how I am feeling. It's amazing that she is able to do so all through a computer screen.
I could not recommend Regina more highly. If you are like me and struggle with things like anxiety, family relationships, setting boundaries, etc., she will help you get to a much better place if you're willing to put in the work.

Regina has been a saving grace through the most unstable part of my life. I can feel genuine friendship and concern for my well-being during our sessions; I have recommended her to friends in need of a true support! Regina is beautifully open-minded and an amazing listener. Her ability to help me step back and see things from other angles as been life changing. I'm so grateful for her support.

I started seeing Regina during the pandemic, and she has been such a great help to me as I've been processing everything the last year has thrown at me. I had never tried counseling or therapy before, but our sessions have been incredibly helpful, and I am very grateful for her kindness and her ability to actively listen and follow up with relevant questions, both immediately and sometimes several weeks later. I feel very supported by her.

After the unexpected loss of my father, a friend of mine suggested BetterHelp. Regina has been a key component in my grief recovery. With her guidance, I now feel like I have the tools I need to get through this on my own. Thank you for everything.

Regina is the best therapist I’ve ever had. An incredibly empathetic and devoted listener, she also consistently provides therapeutic counsel I can actually apply to my life to improve it. I have only worked with her a few months and her work has helped me heal SO MUCH from my trauma. She’s also especially great with family issues and relationship dynamics. So glad I’m working with her.

I have only been using BetterHelp for the past 2 weeks and I’m already noticing myself being less anxious, it’s a good feeling knowing you’re not missing an appointment and you’re time is valued. Regina always responds in a timely manner and always makes my opinion or issues feel important, and that’s what means the most to me. She gives me tools to work on and she doesn’t pry asking why she hasn’t seen me working on them.

Wow! What a great listener. Non-bias advice. I feel so much better after a session with Regina. She really takes the time to listen. And even after the session, if she finds more helpful information she shares it right away!
