I am enjoying working with Aiko. I am always apprehensive about starting with someone new but this has been a great experience. It feels more personal and understanding versus judgmental and challenging. Aiko is down to earth. She's witty and funny. I enjoy our time together. From one therapist to another; Aiko is the bees knees! The natural remedy to my natural lifestyle! Thanks Aiko, I appreciate you.

Aiko is helping me deal with a lot. She is very good at seeing what you mean and providing a good base of logic without being at all judgemental.

Aiko is fantastic. She's engaging, cognizent, asks good questions and always seems to offer a broader perspective of whatever issues you might be facing. She seems to know where your head's at and what you can do about it. I trust Aiko, and I value her opinion.

She is very caring and very understanding. She listens attentively and offers practical solutions to solve the root of the problem. I look forward to her intuitive and well though out solutions each week. I enjoy knowing that she isn't giving the same treatment to everyone. She has a real individual approach.

I've been more even-keeled and less stressed since beginning sessions with Aiko. She's an empathetic, calming and objective presence in my life, where I can drop all of the agendas and thought processes I have to uphold and entertain with everyone else I know. It's such a relief knowing that I can go to someone with my problems and really be listened to and heard without any ulterior motives.

Aiko is a fantastic therapist and I have felt comfortable with her from day one. I've never had a therapist I felt was very effective with me, but I think this format helps and Aiko is wonderful at messaging and making time for live sessions when needed. She is compassionate but not overly so and she gives guidance or affirmation when needed.

My understanding is that she is very sympathetic and understanding, I feel like she listens to me and understands how I'm feeling. She provides good feedback and I feel better after taking to her.

Written by V.A on Nov 08, 2016 after counseling with Aiko for 3 days on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship, and career

She is wonderful! I came to her with work-related stressors and she really helped me to develop a more well-rounded picture of how other life areas truly were impacting my work life. Extremely kind and immensely helpful.

Written by L.E on Nov 02, 2016 after counseling with Aiko for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and relationship

Aiko is a wonderful human being. She really shows she cares and is great at follow up. I am working with her on my anxiety and relationship issues and feel that we are making good progress.
For me, BetterHelp's online system is better than going to see someone directly (face to face) as I can reach out more regularly, and get thoughts/actions back quickly. I have time to process them, and enact them. I don't have to wait a week for the next appointment, by which time I have forgotten everything.

Excellent! Aiko makes me feel as though she's really concerned. I definitely appreciate her!
