I left betterhelp for a while just because of the cost, but I was drawn back purely because of Thomas' care. I genuinely feel he has had a big impact in my life and has given me the confidence I need to get through the problems life throws my way.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Thomas is a great therapist and human! He has helped me go from an awful place at the beginning of a session to making me feel like I have a plan and a purpose by the end of it. Highly recommend!
Very respectful, and professional. Very good queer/gay knowledge! Super helpful!
He has offered me sound advice with an issue that I've battled with all my life. I walked away from our session with a lighter heart and stronger sense of self!
