Welcome to my profile page! I have been working as a therapist for 36 years in the state of Pennsylvania. I have extensive experience with a variety of populations and their challenges. I am a client centered therapist which means that I will work with you collaboratively to conquer the obstacles that are preventing you from leading your best life. If you think we might be a good fit to work together, you can expect that I will listen, provide observations without judgment, and ask questions to help you focus on what is most important to you. In life there is "the problem" and there is "how you think about the problem"; the latter makes all the difference! Collaboratively we will explore your world view, identify, and most importantly, reconstruct views that are flawed or simply not true. To borrow a couple of quotes from Winnie the Pooh, "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think" and "Stop worrying. Stop letting others hold you back. Work hard, take chances and keep the faith. You will never know if you never try." Know that you are entering a safe space regardless of your identity, your past, the body you are in, what you believe, who you love, or obstacles you have faced or are facing now. You and I will work as a team to develop a plan to meet your individual needs and goals so you can get back to being you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Terri Bassi-Cook. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Incredibly patient and very much present in every session. Active listener and provides the proper worksheets and tools where applicable.

I talked to Terri for 4 months. She was great and really easy to talk to. She was very understanding and kind, I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Miss Terri made me feel at ease and it’s easy to talk with her! She responds to you quickly and checks in to see how you’re doing. I feel like I have known her for years somehow!

I have only had a couple sessions so far with her. But she listens, gives great advice and is very encouraging.

Terri is extremely kind, caring, and honest. When she provides feedback, you know it comes from a place of authenticity. She also has a broad knowledge base and rarely will a topic arise in therapy with which she doesn't have experience. And regardless, she will always have sound advice. Most importantly, however, she is just a grade A+ wonderful, genuine person.

I have decided to use Betterhelp even though it's not covered by my insurance just because Teresa has been such a caring and helpful counselor. I also really like the option to use the journal on the website and how easy it is to schedule appointments online.
