My professional life has been dedicated to the easing of psychological suffering, particularly the suffering caused by the ravages of depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and addiction. Our personalities can be badly damaged by early traumas and disrupted early attachments, and addictions, large and small, are typically our desperate methods of coping with the pain. I tend to use cognitive, behavioral, dynamic, humanistic and existential methods to support people through the difficult process of healing and growth, and I frequently draw upon various spiritual insights and methods to support my psychological interventions. My goal is to bring to bear any and all resources I can to help you move closer to the life you were created for.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jeff Thompson. 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.
In only a few sessions, Dr Jeff helped me deal with my insecurities better than anyone has been able to. Strongly recommend him to anyone dealing with insecurities and depression, or just to talk about topics that are difficult to talk about with anyone else.
