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.

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

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!
