I have worked with Amy for a few weeks which isn’t a long time, but I feel comfortable in chatting with her. We have a couple of things in common so I think that is really going to help.

Hello all, my name is Amy Silberman and I have dedicated the last 22 years of my life to the world of social work. I did rewarding work in helping families find special need babies to adopt into their home. I worked with post-partum Moms and some prenatal ones with social issues. The last 12 years my work has been primarily with families who kids have orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions.
My approach is very kind and gentle. I am curious to learn about you. I will be listening and let you share what led you into therapy and what you'd like to get out of therapy in our first session.
We will set short term goals and long term goals so you can notice your progress.
I tend to work on a strengths perspective and recently became a Health and Life Coach too so I'll be adding in my rah rahs to know I'm on your team to help you.
I feel I can be of help since I am quite empathic and focus on the needs of my clients. I have been told for years that I'm a good listener and listening and reflecting back what a client says is what I feel is key to helping positive changes occur. Let's give it a try.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have worked with Amy for a few weeks which isn’t a long time, but I feel comfortable in chatting with her. We have a couple of things in common so I think that is really going to help.
Amy is an angel. I am so thankful to BetterHelp for connecting me with such a capable, kind, positive person! She is a great listener and really cares about me. Her advice and loving nature has made an enormous difference in my life. I was very nervous about starting therapy, but Amy made me feel at ease immediately. I initially began this journey to navigate anxiety and past traumas. Weeks later, I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a life-altering illness. Amy was there to support me in what became one of the most difficult experiences of my life. Her help went beyond our weekly sessions. One week, I told her that I was getting stressed out about some issues with my medical treatments and insurance: long story short, some complicated paperwork and unhelpful insurance agents were standing in the way of urgent medical procedures that I really needed. Without hesitation, Amy offered to make calls to my doctor and insurance on my behalf. With her experience in the healthcare industry, she was able to successfully advocate for me, and I am now fast-tracked to getting a life-changing procedure! I could not have untangled these emotional or practical issues on my own. Thank you Amy for helping me in so many ways! I highly recommend her for any patient looking for someone who really cares. It feels so wonderful to have someone who is in my corner. Amy is simply the best!
She is very friendly with a soft approach. With more sensitive issues she strongly gives the impression of the “deep listener.”
I appreciate her communication style. She is a great listener. I feel heard.
