More about Tom
- 15 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I love what I do, and I know why I do it. Since 2007 my focus has been coming along side of people and assisting them with challenges they face in life to become the most authentic and genuine person they were meant to be. In my own journey I've come to accept and appreciate the gifts I've been given, even if they're seemingly unrelated. I love my work as a therapist and I will always be passionate about performing music. How the two coexist within me is the journey I'm on. My focus has been in becoming a better therapist each day ... but I also know I'll never stop playing guitar and performing music, it's part of who I am. I have been singing and playing guitar forever.
I have worked with a variety of people, with a variety of personal struggles, and a variety of ages. I am very passionate about understanding and helping people with the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, distressful emotions, and broken relationships. I believe that we all have inherent value, and I strive to truly understand my clients and give all of them the respect and honesty they deserve.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tom has been very helpful in helping me reach my goals for myself. He’s very friendly and caring.
Tom Post has been an absolutely amazing counsellor for me. I started meeting with him through Better Help in July of 2022 and he's helped me greatly throughout the time we've been meeting. He's very understanding, caring, and really does an awesome job of helping me get to the root of my issues and helps me face them in a productive manner. I couldn't say enough about how much I appreciate Tom and I'm very greatful hes my counselor.
Tom is easy to talk with and has enabled me to sort out what is going on with me.
Tom is an amazing therapist. He helped me so much.
Tom was an incredible help at both diagnosing my panic attacks and helping me understand my anxiety. He gave me amazing tools to get better control of my anxiety, tools to handle panic attacks, and tools to keep them away. He was great at recognizing what methods worked best on me and pursuing those. He went into depth on the science side of how the brain works, which I really needed. He was really knowledgeable and understanding and I could not recommend him more!
Tom had his hands full with me. He listened as no one in my personal life can. I find him compassionate and i feel more hopeful with our conversations. I believe he gets the short term needs and the long term goals.
It’s very convenient. I have my appointment when and where it works best for me
Tom is the best therapist I have ever had. He is very open, and actively pursues my goals. He prioritizes me, my comfort, and my mental health
Tom has been instrumental in me turning around my entire life! He is great at what he does. He really listened to my concerns, always provided great feedback, and gently pushed me to put in the work when I really needed it. I have already recommended Tom to several friends, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to make positive change in their life!
