These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tommy Pool. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Truly a thoughtful and understanding human. It's always a pleasure to talk with Tommy and I always feel like I can be honest with him. There's no judgment. He's helped me understand a lot of key parts of myself and move in some new directions that have been really positive. As a therapist I really appreciate his balance between empathetic listening and actual, actionable advice that you can take back into your life.
