Jade is amazing. She has helped me so much over the course of a few months. We have literally uncovered root causes to my childhood trauma that has impacted my adult life. We also have fun talking and even laugh together. Jade is extremely professional at all times, direct yet compassionate. Blessed to have come across her as a therapist. I highly recommend working with Jade.

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.

Jade has been amazing to work with. I feel respected and heard by her. Thank you!!
She is a very attractive person. She has her own opinions and listens to me to the end. She also finds and praises my good points and tries to work with me to find solutions to my problems. She is clear in what she says, easy to listen to, and gives evidence-based explanations. She suggests several ways to help me and explains exactly why. She is a very trustworthy therapist. Talking with her has helped me to stay happy and in control of my mind. I am just starting out and would like to work with therapy a little more.
She is very kind and helpful. I’m glad I’ve matched with her !! Strongly recommended.
Jada really helped me overcome my work place anxiety. I started to see things from a whole new perspective just after a couple of sessions. I really appreciate the time spent
Jade is a great listener and provides great insight onto the reasons behind issues and potential solutions.
Jade is great. She helped me to feel strong and confident enough to leave my toxic/abusive marriage and never look back! Im happy to be working with her again!
I am so happy that I was paired with Jade. I worked with Jade for a short period of time and during that time my transformation has been amazing. I feel lighter and at peace. Jade has helped me to appreciate the woman that I am, that I was and that I plan to be. I can say without hesitation that I love myself and that's due to Jades ability to listen, understand, guide and call things as they are. Thank you Jade and Betterhelp for creating a platform for real change.
She is always listening to me and giving me great realizations. Her support made me extremely grow up.
Very good
Jade is amazing. She knows how to communicate correctly and gets how I speak.
My therapy sessions with Jade Yamada were excellent. She helped me work through my issues in just a few sessions, and also gave me goals to reach, which I found beneficial. She not only listened, but challenged my perspective. Moreover, she is such a kind person!
Excellent therapist.
Jade is the best
Jade is kind. Jade is a good listener. Jade is very supportive. Jade offers advice and insight when necessary. Jade doesn't interrupt or impose her opinion. She is a great therapist.
Already during the first session, Jade gave me very helpful advice. This advice helped to transform my financial situation on the same day for the months to come. She also gave me some positive self-affirmations to do for the rest of the week that transformed my well-being and replaced negative thoughts with positive patterns. She is understanding, listens and gives very useful advice. I am a psychologist (with another focus than clinical or counselling) by education myself and can assure you that Jade is very professional and uses approved methods. You will be very happy to work with her!
Jade is amazing. She made me believe in therapy and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for her. The healing process has been excruciating but she’s made it bearable and acceptable.
Jade is great. Cares, listens, responsive. She has been very helpful!
Jade helped me for the past couple of months get to a place where I can be confident in the steps I need to take to live a happier and healthier life where I can have better relationships with my mother and significant other. She was very kind, caring and understanding and I enjoyed the journey and completing my therapy with her.
Jade is such a down to earth therapist! You can truly see that she loves her job and has a love for helping others. She is a great listener and very easy to talk too. It sometimes feels like I’m just talking to a friend. Her warm and empathetic personality makes session a much safer place for me to express my feelings. The best part of working with Jade is that she believes In you and sees your potential. She had help me find an inner strength (emotionally and mentally) that i didn’t know I had in me.
Jade has been so incredibly kind and respectful, I look forward to our sessions and her responses as they always prove to be very insightful and helpful in managing my issues. I would recommend her to anyone.
I’ve benefited so much from working on my self-esteem with Jade! She’s helped my recognize certain patterns and how I can gradually shift to a healthier mindset. She’s supportive yet straightforward—I’ve learned so much and appreciate her insight.
Jade has been very helpful.
Very professional and has working knowledge of the tools necessary to help me
Jade has made such a difference in my wellbeing. I don't know where I would be without her this year. Her kind and gentle way of communication is unparalleled and her expertise is very apparent.
I highly recommend Jade. She is sweet, caring, and always makes the effort to truly listen and respond. Jade not only helped me build up the strength I needed to overcome my negative emotions but also educated me. I learned so much even with just a few months of interacting with her. She is the best and I’m so happy I found her!
I've only been with Jade for a few sessions, but I couldn't recommend her more. I've had a lot of therapists over the years, a lot of bad therapists too, and I've found that one of the most important qualities of a therapist is simply their kindness- while Jade has many other good qualities that make her good at her job, I can't understate the importance of just how nice she is. Makes me feel heard.
Jade is super helpful! She listens and doesn’t get bothered when I’m repetitive. She is very responsive and accommodating, and I like how frank she is when needed.
Jade is very responsive and kind. I feel at ease discussing my personal challenges with her. It feels like I'm speaking with a friend.
Jade is very kind, very nice, but also not afraid to be direct and blunt when she feels it’s needed. I appreciate having her point of view of myself, as well as her thoughts on my own thoughts. She’s been an amazing help, and I’m so happy to have been paired to work with her
