Thomas is simply put amazing. He had a gentle way of explaining and understanding my issues and was of great help to me in dealing with a lot of confidence issue i had. His reccomended worksheet and suggestions are still something i refer to on a daily basis and i am so glad he introduced me to them! Thanks Thomas!!

After a couple of months Tom got a normal job and couldn’t see me other than nights and weekends. Tom made me believe that he cared and could be a long term therapist but BetterHelp was just temporary for him (should’ve figured because he had just moved). Wish I hadn’t wasted my time and mental energy with Tom, BetterHelp was obviously not his first priority. Not very ethical in my opinion

Very good therapist so far. I feel he really listens to me and understands what I am trying to accomplish. I feel I have a good patient therapist relationship.
