These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tonie Schmitt. 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.
Tonie is a down-to-earth professional who listens carefully and provides a safe space to discuss any topic. She responds with compassion and understanding.
She reminds me to work on self-care, and checks in each week to see what I did for myself.
Her pragmatic approach to handling difficult interpersonal relationships gives me a foundation to support my new path of self-advocacy.
She has helped me to become myself again.

Tonie is great listener who looks for the underlying issue behind my conversation. She always offers a reframe or different perspective and I come away with a counter narrative to offset old stories and default ways of seeing my experiences.
