Do not use

The worst therapy I have ever received. Therapist tried to diagnose me within two minutes of meeting me for the first time. Clearly contradicting their own policies. They also sold my private health information. I only got $10 in the settlement, but now I get targeted ads to reinforce my health anxiety.

BetterHelp is an online platform that provides convenient access to professional mental health support from licensed therapists. It offers a range of services including messaging, live video or phone sessions, and educational group webinars to help users overcome personal challenges.

How does BetterHelp match me with a therapist?

After you fill out a questionnaire detailing your needs and preferences, BetterHelp will match you with an available licensed therapist. This matching process considers your specific requirements and location to ensure you connect with the right professional for your situation.

What are the costs associated with BetterHelp?

The cost of therapy through BetterHelp typically ranges from $70 to $100 per week, billed every four weeks. This pricing can vary based on factors such as your location, specific preferences, and therapist availability. This is often more affordable than traditional in-office therapy sessions.

All therapists have extensive experience, holding Master's or Doctorate degrees and meeting rigorous professional standards.

How can I communicate with my therapist?

You can communicate with your therapist through a secured messenger service, allowing you to send messages as often as needed. Additionally, you can schedule live sessions for video or phone calls to discuss your challenges and receive feedback and guidance.
