Thomas is great! I’m so happy with how he’s helped me in such a short period of time. He listens and offers direction, I feel validated and I have a renewed sense of purpose in my life which feels great.

Thom Wilder is the most intelligent, educated professional therapist I have ever had. After 30 years with other therapists, in patient treatment centers and out patient facilities I had given up on ever finding someone who had the experience and strength to handle my severe CPTSD, Complicated Grief, and BPD. He has listened patiently and never tuned out my devastating past. He is the first therapist to guide me out of the darkness and showed me new ways to think and live. I cannot express my happiness enough on having found him. I'm so glad I found Betterhelp and the wonderful support they provide. "Help is on the way" emails from BetterHelp always give me a sense of peace, support, and safety. I recommend it to everyone with whom I speak.

I was worried at first thinking we wouldn’t be a good match. His professionalism is top notch. Yet, he gives off an air of friendship. He’s very comforting and I’m very thankful for him.

Very timely response, thoughtful, and engaging. Gives enough room for you to talk while, also responding in a way that exposes you to new ways of thinking.
