Making therapy easier, more flexible, and innovative using tech I love being able to talk to my counselor wherever I am. There have been times when I need to talk to my counselor the most while I have been out of town and a traditional session would not have been possible. From the app I can send messages to my counselor to mention something we should talk about in our next meeting or to reschedule last minute. The app also has a journal feature where you can share (or not share) a journal entry to give more insight to your counselor about a topic that you have been dealing with. I like having the option to have a video or phone call. Some days it's just nice to not have a face to face when you're feeling really down or don't want to get out of bed.

plus plus BetterHelp encourages everyone to open the pandoras box. It makes you realize that therapy is not just for the weak but also for the strong.

Great therapist, unaffordable. My therapist is great, I just can't afford paying out of pocket for therapy. I pay $360/mo with therapy which as a single parent is unsustainable. I followed my therapist to BetterHelp from a couples therapy platfomr when my relationship dissolved to help continue walking me through the transition. I wish there were more options for payment.

Finally a platform for mental health that helps Using Better help has been a huge relief, Finding the right therapist can feel like dating, in that you have to look around sometimes before you find the right fit ; Thus I was grateful when they asked the right questions upfront in order to set me up with a good match. They do make it easy for (if you chose ) you can switch therapists easily as well.

Truly Helpful Counselors and Resources I am extremely grateful for BetterHelp. It simple to access yet professional and very helpful. The therapist is top-notch; incredibly empathetic, careful to listen and hear, patient, thoughtful, professional, and helpful. There are many resources available at BetterHelp including presentations with a wide variety of subjects to chat sessions. So grateful this type of service was available when I needed it most. It is really helping my put my experience into perspective so I can get well again.
