Ted is an example of what a person is gifted to do!!! Has given me direction to go forward with complex PTSD. It’s been a productive year and looking to more growth.

I was always against counseling, I had spoken to a few already and they always made me feel patronized, or very child like. I recently took a “let’s give it one last shot.” I signed up, and matched with Ted. So so happy I did, he’ll talk me through things and he’s provided different view points to expand my own in such a short time. I’m really looking forward to the future with my mental health now I never thought I’d say this but, counseling does work and I think it works for me because of Ted.

Ted is attentive, tracks growth and developments well and keeps the conversation going in a comfortable and courteous manner. I feel like I'm talking to a friend with a keen and refined sense of where my needs are. The natural flow of the conversations enables me to open up and be honest with him while feeling like my needs are being met perfectly.

Ted is caring and attentive! He ask the right questions, responds, and is considerate. I definitely recommend him. Ted has a natural ability to help you think differently and to think about things with honesty.

Written by C.A. on Feb 04, 2019 after counseling with Ted for 8 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and eating disorders

I like that Ed responds so quickly. A while ago, I used TalkSpace and the counsellor did not respond and had certain times only and seemed very picky.

Very happy with Ed - already recommended BetterHelp to my sis-in-law.

Ted Rostiac is an extremely helpful counselor. He is very intuitive with knowing when to give advice and went to just listen. He is very respectful of me and my predicament when working with him I do not feel any sense of judgement Ted has been extremely helpful and giving me the direction to cut through my own BS. I highly recommend Mr Rostiac.

Ted is a wonderful listener and counselor. He has helped me see my issues objectively and has accompanied me in actively resolving them. My only regret after working with him is not having found him sooner!

I am grateful to Ted Rostiac for his kindness and his efforts in helping me reach my goals. I appreciate how he clearly understood the large amount of information I gave, and how he kept track of the important threads throughout. I will seek his help again if I need it.

He's highly professional and really knows how to get to the root of the problem and takes it one step further by asking the right questions.

Written by M.O. on Aug 10, 2017 after counseling with Ted for 2 weeks on issues concerning eating

I was not even sure if I was ready to seek help again, but figured I would try just so I could say I had exhausted my options. Enter Ted. I was weary of a male therapist but his immediate responsiveness and down to earth way of reframing the problems that are dogging me earned my trust. I have hope that I'll recover from binge eating; this never felt like a possibility to me before.

I've had just two sessions with Ted so far. He is definitely a good listener and also has been very quick to drill down to the issues I'm dealing with. I was focusing on "surface stuff." He's getting me to dig beneath the surface.
