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.

Better Help

It has been amazing to speak with someone who has perspective and insight into my daily struggles. It’s convenient as it’s digital at a predetermined time that works for both parties. Encouragement is available as is guidance . It really has assured me and it is affordable ... which is the biggest bonus.

Two horrible experiences

I had two horrible experiences about a year ago. First was with a lady therapist in Washington who only talked about herself and her own problems, and never seemed interested in finding out anything about me. I wrote a message to the Betterhelp team wanting to express my concerns, and in my message I never apologised for anything yet in the reply the person said ‘no need to apologise’ which I found a bit strange and also felt not heard at all. Still I wanted to give it another try, because I was in a foreign country and needed help after having a very traumatising experience and having PTSD. The second attempt was a guy therapist also from USA, who never really listened to any of my questions and gave me random advice and answers that were not relevant at all. Overall just a bad experience.

It should be zero stars

I’m just going to be blunt. This service is priced way out of my budgetary constraints. It is shameful that a company that is claiming to be offering support for people who may desperately need assistance wants to charge so much.

I contacted support and got told that I qualify for a student discount - even with the student discount, the monthly subscription was more than I earn in a month. I told the support person that I couldn’t even afford a month’s subscription. They replied that I could then just pay week-to-week, as if paying for four weeks individually is mathematically less than paying for four weeks as a group.

Account deleted. I hope you’re happy, knowing that there are many, many people out there who can’t afford the help that they need.
