BetterHelp is an excellent option for people who for whatever reason are unable to access mental health services. There are so many things I love about this service, namely: 1) It is entirely online. I attend therapy sessions in my PJs 2)You can choose how you wish to communicate with your counselor, whether by instant messaging, email, or live sessions. Plus I like the fact that my counselor checks in on me periodically and is always available for guidance, unlike traditional therapy where you wait a week between appointments. 3) You are matched with a counselor based on information you provide in a questionnaire, but you can switch counselors easily whenever you want. 4) It's affordable. I can't stress this enough. BetterHelp charges a fraction of what traditional in-person therapists charge. And the monthly fee includes UNLIMITED counseling! I live in a country where qualified therapists or counselors are scarce and prohibitively expensive. This service has been a lifesaver. 5) My counselor is the best part. She is amazing. She is so compassionate and wise. She is my second counselor. I was matched with one then switched to her. But my first counselor was also highly qualified and professional. We just didn't click.

I have gained so much from BetterHelp and am so grateful that I came across it one night on a google search. It has helped me tremendously and made such a difference in my life. I love how we can keep in touch daily, where as going to an actual clinic it's weeks in between and it takes a long time to catch up in the beginning. This way my counselor always knows what's going on and we can work through it one day at a time. You can do phone, video or just message back and forth, it's so convenient and I prefer this way of counseling as I've done others in the past. Highly recommend to anyone needing counseling!!

Hi, my name is Faye, I am 62 and I cope with depression and suicide since I have been 30. The first 60 years I lived in Western Canada and the provincial government covered access to psychiatrists and psychologists. Last year, I moved to the opposite end of Canada. I love where i live now BUT the provincial government does not cover costs to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist PLUS there is such an extreme shortage of psychiatrists the only way I could access one is to crash and burn, be hospitalized and upon release have 3 follow up appointments. Psychologists are easier to see but $120.00 hour per appointment a little too deep for my pockets. I started following this young woman on Facebook, Radical Transformation Project, and she spoke openly about her challenges with mental health and she had found Better Help, tried them and is continuing to have excellent results. I too have started to work with a licensed professional. One of the good things is that when you contact Better Health there are NO contracts to commit to, you outline what qualities you would like your counselor to have; male, female, young, older, straight or homosexual/lesbian, Christian, etc. You are NOT LIMITED to the number of times in a week you can contact and interact with your counselor. I say per week because the fee is ONLY$45 per WEEK, that covers a few psychologist appointment. You do this in the privacy of your own home so no worry about transportation to go to appointment, YOU pick the time that works for you best. I was given my first week free of charge because I was tight on funds but Better Help understood this and knew I really needed to touch base with someone. My first week I probably sent my counselor 3 or 4 messages A DAY and she answered each and every one promptly, she did not scold me for sending too many messages, try doing that with your psychologist or psychiatrist and see how far that goes. YOU are important. YOU need to have the best help you can receive. PLEASE try looking into Better Help. YOU are not alone in this battle. AGAIN, everything you say, help you receive remains CONFIDENTIAL. Putting forth my hand to help you up and on the path to being better.

BetterHelp has saved me a ton of money on counseling. My insurance does not cover traditional counseling, and I would have been paying upwards of $600/month for four sessions a month. With BetterHelp, I pay less than half of that and can contact my counselor anytime without feeling like I am nagging her or out of line. THANKS BETTERHELP!

Betterhelp was invaluable in helping me get through a difficult period in my relationship. I would highly recommend Better help for anyone

Better help is therapy on your terms, your schedule, and does not discriminate based on insurance or life circumstance. If you're looking to eliminate excuses for why therapy is too hard to Incorporate in your life, choose better help to turn a new leaf and give yourself the gift of self care. I am so grateful for my counselor, Percy- he has challenged me and encouraged to fight for mental wellness.

Betterhelp is a much cheaper alternative to in-person therapy, insurance or not. I loved my counselor but if I didn't they would have let me switch with no hassle! Their customer service is so nice and down to Earth. I could not have asked for a better experience and I highly recommend.

I really thought online counseling would be a joke. But it has turned out to be a really great experience. I have access to write my thoughts or feelings down 24/7 and access to a counselor more often than if I were making office visits. I would tell people to just give it a chance. It's not what you think it is.
