BETTERHELP – FEATURES
-------------------------------------------
• Over 30,000 licensed, accredited, and highly experienced therapists
• Match with the right therapist for you based on your needs, preferences and location
• Send your therapist a message as often as you want

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.

:(:( hmmmm ,

Matched right away with the best therapist I’ve ever had.

Was skeptical to give it a try as had seen so many ads. However being able to be matched with a therapist (from a global pool) who matches your needs and is available now, is awesome. There is a shortage of therapists where I am from and they cost so much. So glad I tried this instead.

Great but pricy

I have had better help from January 2023- October 2023. It’s been absolutely life changing. My therapist has been amazing, she’s helped me to totally turn my life around. I love the changes I’ve had come into my life as a result of Better Help. However they’ve just announced an increase of $10/week which is a huge jump in a short notice period. I’ve loved using better help & wish it were a bit more affordable. But when I was really suffering it was definitely worth the cost. Maybe I’ll try using Better help again in the future, as it worked so well for me.

Bad experience

I can’t really be bothered writing a review in general but because of the nature of the service the app provides I feel I should as it might help people who are already struggling with their mental health. I rated this two stars and only because customer service was so responsive and have said they will provide a refund. The experience on the app itself was not ideal though. I tried two therapists and both of them seemed to me to be sham artists. I’ll leave it at that. I cannot recommend this app and I’m not sure why there are so many glowing reviews.
