Hi Simon, We do bill members on a subscription/membership basis, but you can cancel the membership with just a few clicks from your "My Account" page at any time. We can also work with you to determine any refund you might be eligible for if you haven't been using the service during your recent billing cycle. To help ensure we can get this resolved for you, I've requested the email address linked to your BetterHelp account. Someone from our team can follow up with you directly.

Hi Whitney, We're truly sorry to hear about what you experienced with your therapist. We take clinical quality very seriously, and what you've described is the opposite of what we would expect from a mental health provider. We'd appreciate the chance to see how we can make this right for you. I've requested the email address associated with your account so that we can have a member of our management team follow up with you. Once we gather some more details, we can file a report with our Clinical Operations team so they can investigate what happened and take the appropriate actions. Talk soon, BetterHelp Team

Danke, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, deine ersten Eindrücke zu teilen. Wir möchten zunächst klarstellen, dass BetterHelp keine Therapie anbietet, sondern psychologische Beratung durch qualifizierte Berater:innen Der Fragebogen zu Beginn dient dazu, dich möglichst passend mit einer Beraterin oder einem Berater zusammenzubringen. Fragen zu Themen wie Religion oder der LGBTQ+-Community sollen sicherstellen, dass persönliche Wünsche und Bedürfnisse bei der Vermittlung berücksichtigt werden können – selbstverständlich nur, wenn sie für die ratsuchende Person relevant sind. Außerdem ist die Nachrichtenfunktion lediglich eine zusätzliche Option, um den Kontakt möglichst flexibel und niedrigschwellig zu gestalten. Die meisten unserer Mitglieder nutzen Live-Sitzungen per Video oder Telefon, können aber zwischen den Terminen auch Nachrichten mit ihrer Beraterin oder ihrem Berater austauschen. Wir möchten außerdem betonen, dass BetterHelp keine KI oder Chatbots für die Beratung einsetzt. Alle Nachrichten und Live-Sitzungen erfolgen ausschließlich durch qualifizierte psychologische Berater:innen, die ihre Antworten persönlich verfassen. Es tut uns leid, dass unser Angebot bei dir einen anderen Eindruck hinterlassen hat. Wir hoffen, diese Informationen helfen dabei, unser Konzept besser einzuordnen.

Hi Betsy, Our apologies for any frustration with this experience. We do work with many health insurance providers, but not all specific plans offered through those providers cover BetterHelp sessions. That being said, we do offer other ways to help reduce out-of-pocket costs. We also want to look into what happened with the automatic account cancellation, as that is not how the system is designed! I've requested the email address linked to your BetterHelp account so that we can have a member of our Technical Support team investigate this further for you, and see if there's a way we can still help!

Hi Micahael, We're very sorry to hear about this experience! Virtually all initial matches take place within 3 business days (and usually the same day). That being said, we'd love the opportunity to look into this further and see what happened, as well as see if there's still a way for us to help you find a match! I've requested the email address linked to your BetterHelp account so that someone from our team can reach out to you directly. We hope to speak with you soon!

We're truly sorry for any delays in response from our support team -- we aim to respond to all emails within one business day! We'd like to investigate what may have happened further here, and ensure we follow up with a proper response to resolve you issue quickly. I've requested the email address linked to your account so that we can have a member of our management team look into this further, and follow up with you directly if your issue is still not resolved. Talk soon, BetterHelp Team

Hi Sophie, Cancelling a membership stops the billing renewals. Canceling just takes a few clicks, and you can see that option in your "My account" page. We are more than happy to have a manger look into this further to ensure this gets resolved for you, and that applicable refunds can be provided for unused time. I've requested the email address linked to your account (you can submit this through a separate Trustpilot form you'll receive shortly). Please make sure this is the same email address you used to sign up for the service! Thank you, BetterHelp Team

Hi Anne, We're sorry for any trouble here. As a platform, we cannot submit or provide medical documentation or facilitate diagnoses, however, the therapists themselves may be able to assist with this. If you're in need of documentation for past use of the service (you no longer have an active memberships), we have a team members who can help facilitate this by reaching out to the therapist directly to make the request. Unfortunately, we cannot mandate that therapists provide the documentation, as this is up to their own professional and clinical discretion as the licensed professionals. That being said, I've requested the email address linked to your BetterHelp account so that we can have a member of our management team look into this case further and try to assist.
