Betterhelp went above and beyond when assigning my case to Ted. I appreciate the most, the safe space he provides me to just express how I feel. He is my sound board that I can bounce ideas, questions, concerns off of. Ted is the best!

Ted has a strong scientific approach and methodology to his therapy. I’m someone who needs concepts explained to me to help build a big enough why to execute on the plan/tools Ted provides during his sessions. And I find that Ted has the expertise I’ve been seeking to help identify areas to work on and provide reasoning as to how a particular exercise helps as remedy.

Ted is an amazing counselor. He clearly knows how to understand and still gently and lovingly point you in the right direction. He is clear and easy to understand. He makes any concept feel easy to understand and achieve. He is a solid voice of wisdom, care, compassion, and reason.

I have only met with Theodore Liswith one time. That said, his kind and caring demeanor quickly put me at ease. One can tell that he is passionate about his profession and about helping you grow and become a better human. I am grateful to be working with him. :)
