Work with Tavares Bostic (LCSW) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

Tavares has allowed me to open up my life so naturally and for once, it doesn't feel like therapy. I mean that in the best way. It feels like I'm just talking with a friend full of knowledge to help me navigate so many different emotions and feelings in life. I brag to my homies about how my therapist is a homie. If he is the right match for a person, they will truly have an amazing person on their team.

The months, so far, spent speaking with Tavares has helped me really dig deep into areas I never thought I needed to before. It's helped me identify behaviors and the triggers that made changes come about. I absolutely love the way Tavares uses a "keep it 100" attitude when speaking with you. For me, this keeps the message he is delivering real and lets me know its not just from a book but its real in thoughts! I look forward to every session scheduled

Tavares is wonderful! I’ve tried therapy twice before and both times were unpleasant as my feelings were dismissed and invalidated. Tavares on the other hand makes me feel heard. I look forward to our sessions and his advice each and every time.

I really like Tavares and he has offered good advice for me dealing with my current situations. When I first signed up with BetterHelp, I thought I only wanted to deal with a female therapist. Because of scheduling conflicts, I wasn’t able to connect with the female therapists that I had chosen. Tavares was another therapist that was on the list. Because I wanted to start sooner than later I decided to try him. Glad that I did!

Tavares has been extremely open, clear, and practical in all his work with me so far. He's a great listener and open to what works best, yet still pushes me to continue improving my thought processes and the way I think about myself and my struggles.
