These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Tammy Occhipinti. 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.
After my first appointment, I felt heard and understood. She reassured me that I wasn't crazy for feeling the way I did. LOL

Dr Occhipinti has been a tremendous supporter for me. Her Biblical counseling is heart felt and I am so grateful she is helping me through a difficult part of my life

Dr. Occhipinti is an answer to prayer, literally. I haven't talked to a therapist since I was a teenager and I was concerned it would take several attempts to find one I could connect with and feel comfortable with, both about my personal situation and but also relate to the spiritual dynamics I felt were at play in my life. She is knowledgeable, insightful, intuitive and direct. I love that she doesn't beat around the bush and just says the truth, but in kindness. I need that. Part of dealing with one own stuff is having someone willing to tell you when you have egg on your face and help you wipe it off. Having this support at a critical time in my life is so valuable and important. Thank GOD she is a part of the BetterHelp network. What a relief!

Attentive, warm, and professional - Dr. Occhipinti has helped me through rough stages in life. She listens and empathizes with me but most of all - gives me tools to help me regulate my emotions. Really can’t thank her enough for her professional guidance and her support.

She’s an amazing Christian therapist and exactly what I was looking for as I was praying to God to help me find the right therapist.
