Ted is great. From the first session, he understood my weaknesses and knew when to step in when I was really beating myself down unfairly. He has a real patient way of explaining stressors and triggers that can lead to depression. He’s also very good at making sure I give myself credit, and appreciate positive things I tend to ignore. He’s very attentive to journal entries and messages, shows genuine concern and interest in my day to day. I’m thankful BetterHelp paired us.

Theodore works from a place of authentic concern. As a therapist, his genuine and kind demeanor easily deflates anger, melting the emotional walls we often build to protect ourselves. This is more than a 'job' to Theodore, and anyone who's been under his guidance will attest to this: he helps you become a better version of yourself, and in your relationships.
I highly recommend "Ted." He's found his calling, and it shows in his work ethic.
You're welcome.

I was skeptical coming to the BetterHelp app, but I will not only sing the praises of better help but also that of Ted as well. Very knowledgeable, very well rounded and approachable. Too often I feel like there is a separation from therapist. I’ve had in the past, but Ted is very relatable and will push you when needed, but is not judgmental by any stretch of the imagination.

Theodore is a man who listens to what ails you and helps you with that ailment. In every session he will ask you what it is you want today's session to be about today. He allows the patient (for lack of a better word) to take the reigns of the session to help them focus on what we want to change.
