PROFESSIONAL HELP, PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
Facing obstacles alone can be daunting – receiving support and guidance from a professional therapist has been shown to make huge, positive changes to help you overcome personal challenges. When you sign up we’ll match you to an available therapist based on your needs, preferences, and location. Different therapists have different approaches and areas of expertise so we’ll work with you to find the right person who can achieve the best results for you.

LICENSED AND TRAINED THERAPISTS
There are over 30,000 therapists on BetterHelp, each with at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience. They are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists (Ph.D./PsyD), marriage and family therapists (MFT), clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed professional therapists (LPC), or similar credentials.

All of our therapists have a Master’s Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their respective fields. They have been qualified and certified by their state professional board and have completed the necessary education, exams, training, and practice.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
After filling out our questionnaire, you will be matched with a licensed therapist based on your needs, preferences, and location. You and your therapist will get your own “therapy room” where you can message your therapist at any time, from any internet-connected device, wherever you are. You can also schedule a weekly session to speak live with your therapist over video or phone.

You can write or talk about yourself, the things going on in your life, ask questions, and discuss the challenges you’re facing and your therapist will provide feedback, insights, and guidance. This ongoing one-on-one dialogue is the foundation of your work with your therapist.

Together you’ll work towards making a positive change in your life, accomplishing your goals, and overcoming your problems.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The cost of therapy through BetterHelp ranges from $60 to $90 per week (billed every 4 weeks) but may be higher based on factors like your location, preferences, and therapist availability. Unlike traditional in-office therapy which can cost over $150 for a single session, your BetterHelp membership includes unlimited text, video, audio messaging as well as weekly live sessions. The subscription is billed and renewed every 4 weeks and includes both the use of the secured site and the therapy service itself. You can cancel your membership at any time for any reason.

Great services

This app is perfect since I am unable to go to face to face therapy sessions.
I really like that I can send a text whenever as it helps me express my emotions the minute they’re happening and allow me to be raw instead of waiting for an appointment once a week.
I have had a bad experience with the first counselor assigned to me, however, it was so easy to change the counselor and the services of the app are easy to navigate through.
I also really appreciate the payment options as they depend on your financial status, but personally at times I feel like it is expensive, however I understand the price reasoning since I can send a text at any time.

The App is a scam neither the counselors nor the staff care

The video calls weren’t working for me, I have changed 3 counselors and I have had the app for around a month now. I have been through a lot but it seems that counselors aren’t incentivized to give proper help and would only try the bear minimum.
My biggest issue is that the voice and video calls do not work properly even though my internet is perfect I have requested to move the call to zoom or another app but the staff refused. While the longest conversation I had with the counselors is 15min for one time and then they would leave since the call would break and they sincerely don’t care.
I am going through a lot loss of job, loss of a city, the hardest financial situation on me and my family and investing money in this app really mattered at that time but what a disappointment and what a scam.

This app has been recommended to me by a friend and she was so surprised knowing what has been happening I am expecting an explanation from your side thank you.

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

At the beginnings i thought no! They are not doctors they’re just specialists!!
they cant help but i really needed it because where i live its hard to find specialized ppl in this matters,and it appears that they are specialized in mental health and self developments they know how to handle each mental problem you have and they help you thru exercises and teaching you new skills about how to control your issue ,highly recommended
On the other hand if you went to a hospital they will prescribe you drugs to sleep n calm you down but will never get rid of the problem”if you didn’t have more after taking the meds” thats my personal experience and opinion
