April is amazing. She is a wonderful listener and I feel like she really understands me. I feel so supported by her and really value our time and her insights.

I have only worked with April once so far but I find her extremely easy to talk to. She is an active listener and shows a lot of sympathy to the issues we discuss.

April has shelled so much I don’t have enough words to thank her. I started this journey with better help and April almost a month ago and I was scared nervous and to be honest not very confident this could work. The first session with April I opened up about myself and I don’t do that with people. She has this calming presence when we talk, she never talks over me enjoys hearing updates about my life and most of all she doesn’t judge or make me feel uncomfortable. I always had this thought in my mind before I started therapy that it was just a big waste of time and I don’t need a random person I don’t know telling me how to live my life but that is not what this is about at all. April is helping me understand the things im feeling and going through aren’t just happening because (in my own words im crazy). It stems from past traumas and my childhood. So I would just like to say April has been a god sent to me since I started this journey. She has helped me so much already I can’t wait for what can happen in the future. Thank you April and better help.

She has been wonderful to work with!

April is great at listening and asking questions that make you think about how you really feel. She has helped me process the end of a relationship and major changes at work. I continue to work with her because I feel the insights she provides are valuable to my mental and emotional growth.

April has helped me through a difficult time and I would recommend her to anyone that is experiencing similar circumstances.

April is super understanding and really listens

Working with April has been great! I feel like she really understands what my issues are and has come up with great ideas and processes on how to manage them. I look forward to chatting with her in our sessions. I feel a sense of relief with the info and feedback she shares.

April is an awesome therapist. She listens and responds with informative information that allows you to understand yourself in a way that you haven't noticed about yourself or a situation, which allows you to move forward with understanding.

Would reccomend April to anyone who is seeking therapy. Very good at asking the right questions and listening to what I have to say. Easy to work with!

April is wonderful and has given me practical tools to reflect upon and use everyday. I highly recommend her sessions!

I have been working with April for a couple months, she has helped me immensely in gaining new insights into myself. She demonstrates compassion, and great skill in guiding and encouraging me to uncovering a deeper knowledge of who I am. I end every session feeling understood, and having a greater understanding of myself, and also having a direction to continue y journey. I am a retired therapist, and for me finding someone that, not only I feel connected to but also has the gifts and skills to facilitate growth, is usually difficult! I believe she is more then competent and feel confident in highly recommending her.

At first, I was very hesitant on the idea of therapy through my phone, but sessions with April have meant the world to me ever since I started. I feel absolutely welcomed and comfortable whenever I talk to her about what’s going on with me.

April has been a godsend. Working with her has felt natural from the start and I’m so glad I got to work with her. It’s making a big difference in my life.

I am so thankful for April’s guidance and expertise. She is exceptional at pin-pointing what I have needed to help get my life back on track. Although I have great support through friends and family, the objective perspective from April has proven to be invaluable. This is my second round of working through issues, and I am forever grateful I can return to a therapist who “gets’ what I have already worked through and what I need to continue to learn about myself and my behaviors.

I never really liked the idea of therapy, but April has made the experience of it very easy and calm to settle into. I’ve made a lot of progress thanks to her and I’m grateful to have been matched with her.

April is caring, understanding, and very experienced. She's the best of the best!

April has been an amazing therapist for me, I have been away from counseling for a long time and we just jumped into it and started working on the things in my life that I have needed help with for so long. She has helped me to grow and improve and hold down a job and make the changes that I've been wanting to make in my life. I am looking forward to seeing how far April can help me go

April is so amazing, she is very understanding and genuine. She is very reassuring when it comes to my needs and wants. She is also very responsive and will make sure I'm not missing any thing.

The betterhelp website and therapist, April are both a godsend. I was struggling with a lot of head talk that was not going anywhere positive until I found this site. April is nonjudgmental, a great listener, and has some concrete things to suggest to help me move out of my head and take positive action. I highly recommend April!

She's fantastic!

April helped me through an incredibly difficult time in my life, and I'm very grateful to have had her as a therapist. She is such a great listener, pays attention to details and meets people where they're at.

April is helpful and honest.

April was really great at helping me discover a lot of these issues and toxic behaviors I would end up falling for in the past. She has been really helpful for the past 8-9 months I got to work with her. I'd highly recommend her counseling to anyone going through similar issues I went through. She's been great.

April has been very supportive of what my focus has been in receiving counseling. She listens well and helps guide me to understand certain subjects we discuss. She has been a great benefit to the areas I’ve been focused on during therapy and I always look forward to our sessions.

She is a treasure, and I don't even use that word. I was very lucky to get matched up with her. She is helpful, warm, and accepting.

April knows exactly what I want to work on and is always there for me. She’s easy to talk to and a good listener.

April is amazing, everything that we have been talking about has helped me to see things in a better perspective. She has allowed me to understand that the things I am going through are not the end of the world and that I truly can get through this.

Talking with April has been one of the most gratifying experiences in my life. I always leave my sessions with her feeling better and hopeful. She is extremely compassionate and intuitive to situations and feelings. I am very lucky to have been matched with her as my therapist.

I've been working with April for the past 4 months and it's been awesome. She has good experience and offers well thought out advice.

She is amazingly awesome! She understands my problems and helps me work through them, sometimes with worksheets as a starting point but sometimes not. It’s all dependent on what you need.

I really believe that I was matched with the right counselor. She respects me and seems genuinely concerned about my problems and also seems eager to help me.

April is friendly, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. She's able to give constructive criticism in a very gentle and loving way. I really enjoy our conversations and our sessions together.

I haven’t gotten a lot of time to get to know April, but I already feel she is taking my concerns seriously and understands where I need support. I look forward to continuing work with her.

April has been a good counselor, she has been helpful and I've enjoyed her counseling.

My life has been overwhelming for me the past few years and I have talked to my doctor and other therapists which was not useful. After losing my sister to breast cancer and I was her primary caregiver, I became sick myself at which time I lost my job and everything. April has been a breath of fresh air and she listens to me and does not scold or preach to me. If it was not for Better Help I would not be able to conquer the small tasks in my life.

She knows what she's doing and responds in a timely manner! Positive experience overall.
