Recent reviews
I've had only 2 sessions with Ms Scott so far, but I love our chats. She's friendly and kind, and though we're discussing really personal things (i.e. conflict with family members), she makes me feel comfortable to express myself. She provides clear, encouraging advice each time we talk. Even though our first and second session were several weeks apart, she remembered all my concerns and was prepared for our second conversation. We picked up right where we left off, so I know she took the time to review what we discussed previously. I would 100% recommend her. This is easily the best experience I've ever had with a counselor. :-)

I am a Marriage, Couples, and Family counselor who is currently licensed in the state of Texas. I have 11 years of experience working with individuals across the age span addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues (parenting, couples), behavior issues, anger, and ADHD.
My counseling style is open and collaborative. I believe in treating others with respect and creating a space of honesty and trust. My approach to therapy involves using evidenced- based therapeutic models while taking a person-centered approach to meet your needs. I will work to ensure that our plan to treatment will be collaborative and individualized to meet your needs.
This is the first step to healing and I am here to encourage and support you through this journey. I look forward to joining you in this process. Welcome to growth!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She been amazing
Excellent
Tova carefully listens as I literally fumble my thoughts and express myself about my situations. But she waits patiently and digests every occurrence and gives me insightful advice.
Easy and great to talk to. Offers great insight and is extremely professional.
Ms. Tova Scott is amazing. She helps create a safe and comfortable environment to help you see things from a different and better perspective. I'm grateful Betterhelp recommend her.
Tova is amazing! She manages to create a safe space even through virtual communication. I’ve only had a few sessions but my health has improved immensely and I can’t wait to continue working with her.
Although it has only been one session. She actually did listen to me with very little interruptions. And was very easy to talk to. It was nice just to talk and not be judged on any issues.
Easy to talk to. Listens. Analyzes and offers solutions or insight when needed.
She’s amazing / exactly what I needed
I love how comfortable it is to talk to her! She's so insightful and makes me feel heard. I know that I can trust her to listen to me and provide feedback that I can understand and use in my everyday life.
Thank you Tova. I appreciate everything you’ve done.
Ms. Scott is very good at what she does. She’s very understanding and clearly cares about my well being. I was very nervous to try BetterHelp but she made me feel very much at ease right from the beginning.
