Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Trygve Trosper. 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.
Dr. Trosper has been an extremely valuable partner to me and my boyfriend as we navigate challenges in our relationship. His approach is well balanced in terms of listening and offering perspective or advice. He gained my boyfriend's confidence from the beginning, which was notable considering my boyfriend's hesitation to participate in relationship therapy. Dr. T highlighted his observations in areas that my boyfriend and I did not originally consider but were significant in the relationship. He has also followed up with us to see how we are doing in between sessions. Having participated in therapy a couple time earlier in my life, I highly recommend Dr. T and would seek him out again in the future should the need arise.

I appreciate the objective input to my issues and thought processes.
I especially appreciate that Dr. Trosper does not always agree with all my perspectives and more importantly, gives reasons and mostly verifiable bases for an alternate position. Helps see things from a different perspective.

If you want a real therapist—someone down to earth but insightful and really understands people and life, he’s your guy :)
