Rate Dr. Anthony Schefstad

Master of the trade- best therapist I’ve ever had. He doesn’t just listen he gives concrete tools to help

Dr. Schefstad has been a blessing. With his help I’ve make great improvements in my mental health. He is attentive and takes his time to really understand what I’m going through.

Cool guy, easy to open up to.

Only a couple sessions in but easy to talk to so far.

Dr. Schefstad has a very gentle and kind approach that I appreciated throughout my sessions with him. Talking to him allowed me to understand why I was feeling the way I was and he gave me the tools I needed to move forward and get past my challenges.

He's pretty good

Dr. Tony is a great listener, and very well informed about many subjects. Couldn’t have asked for a better therapist

Dr Schefstad is brilliant! He listens very carefully and then offers deep insights. He's a firm coach, yet a caring friend at the same time.

We have only met once, but I received valuable assistance at that time.

Dr. Schefstad is an excellent therapist. He is patient, knowledgeable and friendly. He specializes in hypnosis. The techniques he has recommended over the past few weeks have helped me incredibly.

Dr.Schefstad is helping me work on techniques to overcome panic attacks and general anxiety. While it’s still a work in progress I think he is helping me and I appreciate his kindness and expertise.

He try’s to answer your questions . My last therapist tried to put me on drugs and it was the last thing I needed in on a better track now

Fantastic and gifted professional who is respectful and attentive.

Excellent therapist!!

Dr. Schefstad is a wonderful therapist! I would highly recommend him. He truly listens and offers options to help you with the issues you are having.

I feel like I continually grow and learn more about myself, the more I work with Dr. Schefstad. We are working on identifying learned behaviors. I am challenging automatic beliefs and realizing that I don't have to repeat the cycle. I am not my family and I am not my past. Dr. Schefstad is straightforward, honest, and helps me see things rationally. I appreciate the help with working on my boundaries! I highly recommend Dr. Schefstad for anyone who needs someone who can help them get back on track in life, work through negative self talk, family issues, and feels like they are all over the place. He is a wealth of knowledge and has so many ways to approach whatever someone may be going through. If one way doesn't work, he tries another way. One size does not fit all and it feels encouraging to have someone try different approaches if the first way doesn't work. Don't give up, because he won't give up on you.

I have been seeing Tony for over a year now, and words can not describe how much he has helped me. He has changed my life in more ways than one. He is always quick to respond to my messages and extremely flexible if I ever need to change our session. Tony has helped me through a tremendous amount of trauma and has become a crucial part of my healing journey. He is kind and compassionate and has taught me so many ways of working through my anxiety and trauma. I know I still have a long road of healing ahead, but knowing I have him to help guide me gives me hope.

Dr. Schefstad has been integral to my recovery. His expertise is more than apparent and his compassion has been very grounding.

Dr. Schefstad is a great listener, and seems to be in tune with where I’m at and where I want to be.

Listens well, clarifies and then moves into information and options. I am grateful for his time, expertise and thoughtfulness. Thank you.

Dr. Schefstad has been a key component in my support system; we meet regularly, and it has been a game changer.

Dr. Shefstad is a great listener, and corrector. He will let me talk a while and let me explore ideas on my own but will step in to correct some wording, re-appropriate the tone, and steer towards functional, useful goals. He takes my abstract meanderings and constructs solid concepts for me to build with.

Dr. Schefstad makes me feel very comfortable and able to talk about anything that is on my mind. He gives me the tools I need to try to help myself away from our sessions

Dr. Schefstad is incredible, wonderful, and patient. I have felt a huge difference with how I react emotionally and how I process situations after working with Dr. Schefstad over the last year. Others have noticed a positive difference as well. I appreciate that Dr. Schefstad gives me different tools to use to deal with my negative thoughts. I have tried other therapists and why Dr. Schefstad works best for me is that there is a great balance of him listening to me, challenging my thoughts, and giving me other ways to look at situations. I struggle with depression, ADHD, OCD, and addiction. It can be overwhelming. But working with Tony, I feel encouraged and capable and that I will continue to get better. I highly recommend Tony!

Anthony is a genuine, nuanced and empathetic observer, who can pick out relevant pieces and reframe them in a clear way. This enables the work to have more focus and to get tried against inner truths that are trying to emerge.

Attuned to the specific situations, yet open to suggestions. He is very collaborative.

Dr.Tony is kind and considerate. He has validated my struggles and offered multiple solutions. Not excluding coping mechanisms that I have learned to rely on, but expanding my tool box.

Dr. Schefstad is the rule by which other therapists should be measured by. His compassion has no limits and his techniques are truly helpful. Anyone working with him will be greatly rewarded.

I highly recommend Dr. Shefstad. I enjoy working with him. I feel that he responds to my needs. He is familiar with different strategies for PTSD. I feel like I can speak freely, I don't feel judged. I'm very happy he is my therapist and I feel very comfortable with speaking with him.

Dr. Schefstad is an amazing therapist! I have tried and flunked out of therapy in the past, but I've been able to build an extremely helpful rapport with him and hope to be able to continue our relationship for many years to come!

I’m so glad that I found this therapist. He gives great advice and really listens. He’s also not afraid to call you out which is what we all need!

I’ve had sessions with few therapist outside of BetterHelp and one on this platform before meeting Dr. Schefstad and I can tell you that he is an amazing, kind, and patient therapist who use a whole different approach and technique to take away the power and pain from you past experiences that they no longer have a hold on you. For me, he is absolutely the best!!!

Tony has been very patient and helpful for me. He gave me great communication tools to assist me. He is a very compassionate and empathetic person. I thank him so much for helping me.

Dr. Schefstad has really brought tools in my life to overcome my issues. While being kind and compassionate, he also will be honest with my concerns and the path I should take to succeed. There is not a big enough thank you I can give to Dr. Schefstad!

Dr. Schefstad provided a safe space for me to process a stressful event and process that without any judgement. As a result I have gone from feeling hypervigilant to more relaxed around people. I am no longer jumpy due to my nervous system being on hyper alert. I am very thankful for Dr. Schefstad!

Dr. Schefstad is a great Doc. He understands me and evaluates my problems and breaks down with me about it. He’s a great guy and I would t let anything tell me otherwise.

Dr. Schefstad makes me feel heard and understood. I feel that I am in a safe space when I speak with Dr. Schefstad. I am able to talk through feelings and memories and work through my problems. I appreciate that he presents new techniques to me that I have not tried before that are really helping me. I am also grateful for our 'check-ins' to make sure that I am comfortable and feel that I am progressing forward in our sessions. I always leave feeling better. I highly recommend Dr. Schefstad!

At this point only a few sessions but they have already helped considerably. The methods employed and the serious and reflective nature of the therapist help greatly to build confidence in the sessions

Dr. Schefstad is easy to talk to, supportive, and professional. He is encouraging and has helpful ideas and strategies for working on myself.

Dr. Schefstad is kind and very patient. He allows his clients to express their concerns and provides valuable insights

Very insightful individual. Professional and respectful the whole time we worked on me.

This man is incredible. Ive felt more connected, heard, understood about my goals with him in just two sessions than I have with other therapists I’ve spent 6 plus months with. He is truly compassionate about what he’s doing, he recalls facts about you and created a safe place for you to express yourself, checking in and naturally in tune with your emotions. I am so grateful for him and his work

He really helps by offering exercises that are in line with how i process and what i struggle with. I def feel heard and supported.

He does a great job. He's a great listener and he makes sure he gets the whole story.

He listens to what I have to say and brings up great insights when needed. Highly recommend Dr. Tony!

Very knowledgeable and kind professional who is willing to work with you.

I have only had one session so far but I can already tell that my therapist Tony is going to try to help me in the ways I am seeking and I am excited to see a difference within myself!

He is knowledgeable and helpful.

3rd session and so far so good.

Thanks to my employer’s employee assistance program, I am grateful to get 16 sessions through betterhelp with Tony. He’s an exceptional one-of-a-kind therapist who can relate to my catholic upbringing since he is catholic himself. I would highly recommend him to anyone. It’s hard to find a great one but betterhelp found the match I needed based on my criteria

Great advice, listens well, caring

I am still early in my therapy journey, so this is based on short term experience. So far I am extremely pleased with my experience and I am looking forward to continuing this work with Dr. Schefstad. He has been great so far!
