At 37, Edward is the first therapist I have worked with ever. Coming from an avoidant "do it myself" attitude, I was very nervous and didn't know what to expect. Edward was the PERFECT person to get my feet wet with therapy. He offers a friendly demeanor and kind, non-judgemental attitude. Edward is very knowledgeable, he has helped me get back on my feet after my world was blown apart by a 30 year addiction that left me holding a giant bucket of shame. Thanks Edward!

Ed does a great job of meeting me where I'm at and helping me find the next step. If that step looks too big, he find me a smaller one I can go to instead. Ed has gotten me to understand how to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

Ed/Ted is an incredible therapist. Even if he doesn’t have many of the life experiences that I’ve had, he listens carefully. He asks clarifying questions. He empowers and teaches me. He encourages me especially since this is something I often need. He does not diminish or minimize my thoughts or feelings. He’s also quite funny! I look forward to therapy because I know I will always find value in the session even though the sessions aren’t the same. I’m really quite grateful for him.

While my therapy has been very recent, that Edward has been incredibly understanding and compassionate, while giving the best insight to helping myself grow as an individual. I have appreciated Edward's methods to give advice that's helped me understand the tangled thoughts I have, and structure it to acknowledge what opportunities I can give myself and be kinder to myself.

Great listener.. very open minded... listens to my concerns. Would highly recommend.

He is a fantastic listener. Whatever you need to say he will help you get to where you need to be to say it. From my first session I felt comfortable with him enough to get right into the thick of the issues right away. He is the best communicator on this app. He checks in weekly if you don’t necessarily need to chat with him right now. And if you do need to chat right now he should respond in 24 hours or less, in my experience it’s been way less. Fantastic guy, two thumbs way up, highly recommended.

I have just started seeing Edward Larkin and this is my first experience with therapy. I was a little hesitant at first since I just didn't know what to expect. He has truly been wonderful. I feel like he listens and understands my concerns. He works with me to find solutions that I can work into my life. Therapy isn't a quick fix, but because of Edward I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.

Better Help (Ted especially)instantly helped at a time where my life felt most hectic. I feel like I can finally live life without walking on egg shells knowing that I have the support and the listening ear of Ted. I know my friends get sick of listening to me vent so I feel so much better knowing that there is actually someone I can rely on to listen and give non-bias support anytime.

Ted is a super cool, stand-up guy. He's good at giving you your words back to make sure he's understanding what you're explaining and has a couple good jokes too. The support has been beautiful.
