The syllabus was accurate for everything that we learned in the course. She always gave great feedback on assignments and was available to answer any questions after class or over email. Very kind and understanding! Loved this course.

Amy is also an outpatient therapist & examples from her practice greatly add to material. She has that typical 'therapist voice'-calm & kind. She's lenient- grants extensions to the whole class if asked. Not as consistent behind the scenes: largely inaccurate syllabus, slow to grade, struggles with tech. & class website. Expect a lot of role-plays.
