Convenient and flexible

BetterHelp makes it easy to access therapy from anywhere, with a wide network of licensed therapists to choose from. It’s a great option if you need flexible scheduling, though finding the right therapist may take a bit of time.

Concerning ethics!

Therapists on BetterHelp are not always professionally trained, which can impact the kind of experience you have. Additionally, there have been ethical concerns surrounding the handling of user data, sharing them with other companies despite promising to keep data private. Be wary when using this resource.

Varies but Handy

Great for when you need therapy on the go. It might take you a few to find the right therapists, but once you do, its great.

Hit or Miss

It's definitely for people who don't need to see people in person. I wasn't able to work with it because I need to be physically with my therapist, but one of my friends loves it.

It really just varies from person to person

Very versatile when it comes to selecting a therapist, but it can become really expensive and hard to be consistent with.

Highly Recommended

Trauma response professional Dr. John Delony offers BetterHelp at discounted rates saying that he values the quality of their work in helping our clearly anxious society.

Over advertised

If you need therapy you probably need it in person. Most people who seek therapy don't need therapy. They need a better life and better social connections to rely on for counsel and help. Not a professional, nor the professional's fees.

Great Service

The vast array of available therapists is incredible. This resource is amazing and I am glad I used it. I only used it for a short while do to insurance. I was able to get more affordable therapy locally as they excepted my insurance.

Great care at a time that is convenient.

I appreciate the care from providers and I can choose a time that works best for me. I also like that it matches you with a provider.

Needed

I am grateful to have used, definitely something everyone needs once in their life
