It is really helpful to have someone that understands stressful times and insightful ways to cope

Betterhelp team is very professional and commitment. Also, they know how to support and deal with any issue.

Having never had therapy, I was quite surprised to find Betterhelp (a website solely designed around online therapy). I will be completely honest and say that I was very dubious at first. For me, it’s very easy to start a website and bring an array of people together ‘claiming’ to be therapists but Betterhelp offers a range of individuals from, seemingly, across the globe who have helpful profiles to let you know their experience/qualifications/specialties! I will be totally honest and say that I don’t think it can ‘replace’ conventional therapy, as there’s nothing quite like physically sitting across the room from someone but it’s a very good stop gap. The only thing that I would mention (as it wasn’t clear to me at first) was that you are able to swap your therapist if you don’t feel like it’s a right fit. I did and think that in retrospect, instead of BetterHelp choosing on my behalf I think we should be able to write a bio and then choose ourselves but I can appreciate the fact that they are trying to streamline the process! Another note is that they offer substitutions for low incomes, which I think is really kind/helpful and makes it very accessible. Honestly, you’ve got nothing to lose by giving it a go – I have found an amazing therapist by the name of Sara Wolf and for the moment the budget and accessibilities suits my needs just fine until I want to ‘level up’ to go to physical therapy.

This is actually a place where you can get stress theraphy and get an expert who will help you to balance your busy life. They have been helping me to overcome my anxiety and anger issue. I somewhat feel better now.

Once I got things straight with my computer everything was easy. Just make sure your computer is compatible with the Betterhelp system. Other than that it was easy and they made an excellent match for me!

This site is young, and in need of single adult women support to help offer more diversity in group therapy options. As a non-married, no children, adult woman, without depression- I have struggled to find a group chat to relate to. That's my major feedback after using this program for 2 weeks. I'd also like to have more group therapy access, and would like to make sure my personal therapist sessions are the full time allotted. The three group sessions I've attended only had one other participant, which was nice for therapist time, but not really a group discussion. I'd also like to know what to do if I strongly disagree with suggestions the therapist makes in a group session. I felt like speaking out in that moment to the professional in front of the other participant was inappropriate. Overall, this site has gotten me a personal therapist in a time where finding help is a 6-8 month wait if you want in person treatment.

I started Better Help on impulse on a day that I was intensely emotional and sick of not knowing how to dig myself out of the cycle I was in. It has thus far been a positive and healthy decision for me. I am improving at managing my emotions and negating negative self talk. The therapy sessions have been supportive and convenient to schedule and attend. The one group session I have attended so far was incredibly validating and reassuring and I plan to attend again. The technical support team has also been very supportive and prompt in their responses. My only critique is that it can be hard to navigate the app as you get to know it and at least with my membership it is only one group session a week.

Dr Ramy Moises is my therapist and I would recommend him if you have issues surrounding life as an LGBT or person of colour. I always come out of each session with something to reflect on. He doesn't sugar coat things and even though sometimes what I learn about myself is hard to swallow, it helps me become a better individual with more self awareness. I have learned how to build more healthy connections with people; friends, family and relationships. Also, how to put my self care regime first.
