Scott has been an inspiration to me in that he helps me look at my world from a refreshing and accurate perspective. After only the first session, I had the tools and perspective necessary to start making valuable and empowering changes in my life. I needed to talk to someone who was down-to-earth and give me a new set of eyes. Scott is flexible in his approach; if you just need to vent or if you genuinely need guidance, then he works with what your needs are. After only three sessions, I’ve made major changes to my business and personal relationships, and those around me are benefitting more. Thanks, Scott - you’re helping me a lot. There’s still more to unpack and address, but the immediate and major roadblocks have largely been removed and I have a better sense of self and purpose.

Scott helped me through a transitionary and somewhat frustrating time in my life. He was always respectful when allowing me to vent and gave me the time and space to really talk through my thoughts and emotions. Scott has a way of guiding you to problem solve through discussion and active listening. Even in sessions where there was not much to talk about, it was still really nice to just chat. He is a very empathic listener and I would gladly go back to him the next time I decide to use BetterHelp.

He is a great listener, validated my feelings and experiences, and seamlessly integrated ways to reframe my thinking into the conversation. He also sends really helpful worksheets, reads journal entries, and comes back to these topics in session. 10/10 would recommend!

Scott is a thoughtful and warm therapist that allows you to lead conversation. He observes and jumps in with a thought-provoking insight then lets you verbally process.

I really appreciate him. In one session he figured out the problem that I needed to correct. He told me to always be in present and when I followed his advice I improved my focus and concentration a lot compared to past years

Jeffrey is a great listener and he gave good advice that I could apply to my own situation. His key phrase "Just try to stay in the present moment" will stay with me. I can recommend therapy with him. Thanks so much!

I love Him. In 3 sessions everything became so clear. He knows how to pin point the issue and work through it. Got me into journaling I loved my experience

Jeffrey understood my situation from the start, and has met me with empathy, caring, and guidance the whole way along. He has been a consistent voice of support, and provided me with perspective on the challenges I've faced. Jeff takes the time to figure out what I want out of life, has helped me to stay on the right track to getting there, and offers me course corrections when I need them. I'm a stronger, more self-assured, and happier person for having met Jeff and I look forward to our next session.

Better help was the first time I sought therapy and Jeffrey was the first therapist I had ever spoken with. From the first session, he understood my situation and was able to give me guidance through my emotions and thoughts, ways to better communicate and how to be loving and caring to myself. I am now on a positive path and doing better for myself and my future success in life. I give a huge thank you to Jeffrey.
