Chris is the best therapist I've ever had. He is extremely understanding and open, and he has great insight. He is the first therapist to help me truly understand my problems. He is patient and very prompt to respond. His coping mechanisms are easy to implement and have truly changed my life. I've recommended Better Help to several friends since I started therapy with Chris. I had 2 therapists in person, prior to this, and they do not compare to the help that Chris has provided me. I strongly recommend Chris's services and I strongly recommend Better Help!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He’s made things easy for me and has provided resources for my journey Iv really enjoyed Chris
I have had 3 therapists (first 2 were not better help) and Chris is already my favorite and I’ve only had 2 sessions with him. He is extremely knowledgeable, non judgmental, and he is great at steering the conversation when it gets difficult for me to keep talking about my issues. Sometimes it’s hard to address your problems, but he is great at subtly bringing them up and helping you work through them. I have a wide range of problems and he helps me work through all of them, and if we do not get to one, the next session we pick up there. I highly recommend him as a therapist.
