I just joined it to try it out since everyone was talking about it. And now I know so much that I didn't know before. It's the best self-care gift that you can give yourself. It just changed my perspective about life and I am in a place of being joyful & happy in any situation.

I've had two sessions with my BetterHelp therapist and I already feel like I'm doing better emotionally. Just having someone to listen who I know will keep my information confidential and understands what I'm going through makes all the difference in the world. My therapist is kind and compassionate yet professional and knowledgeable. I'm so happy I found BetterHelp and would recommend it to anyone.

Love better help. Their prices are so much more affordable than traditional in-office therapy. The therapist I have is fantastic. Also the video chat is so much more convenient than going to the office.

Great help. My therapist is awesome. Listens and knows how to help.

Better help is an amazing platform, it's truly meant to help you. I can do therapy sessions when ever, I can message my therapist whenever, and it's extremely affordable. Right now I pay 260$ for 4 weeks, if you go to a office it's about that much for even one sit down. Everyone can benefit from therapy, so why not do it from your phone where ever you are?

I love the convenience. Ig mostly fit with my schedule and I’m sure almost anyone can do it and make it work! Great concept and beautiful therapy practice in my experience.

Summary: Betterhelp exemplifies what is wrong with the American healthcare system. If you cannot afford a $300 session per week that is not going to be covered by your insurance, you give Betterhelp a try for $80 a week. Of course you get a lower quality service. Nowhere does it say on the website how long the sessions actually last. You only find out later once you've already paid that a session is only intended to be 30 minutes. For $160 you could get a full hour with a good therapist. Betterhelp is the start to find a therapist quick if you really need help but you will be disappointed sooner than later. The therapist: in my few months of using the service I had two therapists. Both had issues with showing up on time for the scheduled sessions. Both seem to be untrained in how to handle a video call. I had to talk about my issues while looking at someone whose camera is shaking constantly, who is eating and drinking while giving me counseling, whose dogs are barking in the background or are jumping in front of the camera. Both seem distracted at times and had trouble listening. I think I found out why a bit later. My therapist told me that they are burned out by taking on so many sessions per day. I assume much of those $80 don't go to the therapist directly. While I felt like I was loosely guided towards the right questions to organize my thoughts and issues eventually, but 30 minutes are barely enough to explain the problem, let alone work on a solution. Sessions that the therapist canceled were never made up for and I still paid for the week. I could not help but feel a little bit scammed by Betterhelp which made me even more depressed thinking that I am out of any better options. I will recommend the service to someone who is in urgent need of counseling, but I would caution to lower expectations.

“BetterHelp” is a private, secure, & easy to use application for people both new or have had prior therapeutic experiences. Most people beginning therapy feel a little uneasy as it can be hard to seek help and feel comfortable sharing what issues one may be going through. It helps that the cost for treatment is more than reasonable compared to how pricey it can be when going to in-person therapists that charge ridiculous costs making it harder for people to seek help. I recommend that anyone even thinking or on edge about seeking treatment & bettering themselves to at least try out the “weekly plan”. If you have friends you can try together & help eachother out by each getting free weeks! Remember it is unrealistic to wake up one day & have all your troubles go away.. it takes work & being consistent. I believe “BetterHelp” can help you, like myself, heal & find happiness+inner peace in becoming the best person you always could be.
