These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Timothy Baker. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

He is the first therapist to actually teaching me about my brain while helping me with my behavior and habits. He is very nice, no nonsense, and very informative. The best therapist I’ve had in years.
