These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amy Appino. 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.
This is my first time ever going to therapy. When I talk to overs and my experience with it, they are shocked. They have all siad it took years to find a therapist that helped them the way Amy helped me. I could not have asked for a better therapist.
