I don't know that I would use BetterHelp for everything at every stage of life, but right now I have other trusted professionals involved in my care who I see IRL, and being able to get therapy quickly, with a therapist who was matched to my needs, and with really flexible scheduling has been what I needed. If you think your issues are medically complex or it's your first time in therapy, you might want to find a local professional who can see you in person. But if you're like me and have done a lot of therapy and just need to check in to deal with something specific, BetterHelp is great.

Extremely helpful and supportive. Several ways of communicating. Highly recommended service. Journal entry option is also a great way to get thing's off your chest and declutter your mind that can be shared with your therapist to discuss at later sessions 😀

Yo me encontraba sumida en la oscuridad, mi vida no tenía sentido 💛 (Hasta ese punto llegué) de pronto vi el anuncio en Facebook que me llamó la atención. Y muy rápido esta empresa me consiguió una terapeuta que habla mi idioma. *Español) Fue muy fácil conectar con ella, desde hace más de 6 meses estoy con una cita por semana...ella me escucha, me inspira confianza y me siento feliz. "Después de salir de esa oscuridad que me mantenía muy triste he infeliz" ahora estoy plena, y muy contenta de tener mi cita una vez por semana. Si estas pasando por algo muy difícil estas en el lugar indicado. 💜

For starters, it's great to have full control over my own scheduling. I'm a working professional with an occasionally shaky schedule; and BetterHelp's scheduling feature helps me maintain a decent routine. The journal feature is great. I've always struggled to keep a steady journal. The fact that I can journal directly from my phone (if need be), and the fact that I can edit/revise an entry for purposes of clarity has made journaling seem more worthwhile. In turn, this ease of journaling has made it easy to remember both what was discussed in a therapy session and what sorts of things I'd like to talk about in future therapy sessions. The prompts, I must admit, aren't too stimulating to me. But I suppose prompts for a service like BetterHelp can't exactly be too specific, since BetterHelp seems to cater to a wide array of people whose thoughts and feelings on various topics are certain to vary greatly.

BetterHelp is the perfect name for this platform. We have access to so many tools, classes and therapist. You have freedom to choose what works for you. I wish this was around years ago. Betherhelp is amazing!

I started Betterhelp with feelings of hesitancy and doubt. But I'm so happy I tried it. I've been to therapy before, but I don't remember connecting with the therapist the way I have with Sharon. She's empathetic, understanding, and a great listener. I love the homework and articles that she's gives me. Not only that, but there is group therapy sessions, educational, USEABLE classes that I can watch whenever I want. So, on that note, thank you Betterhelp!

This was my second time meeting with her, she’s nice and is a good listener.

BetterHelp is not confidential and does not abide by ethical code. The confidentiality that I am referring to does not have to do with cases where it is mandated for confidentiality to be broken; upon speaking with my state's license board and NASW, the violation in question is an egregious one that is absolutely unacceptable. My BetterHelp therapist was doing deep trauma work with me and terminated services with me halfway through a session because she did not realize she was not allowed to be working with me. The account was automatically closed for me without any transfer of care. When attempting to contact the company for support, they washed their hands of it and acted blissfully unaware. Nobody helped. This organization has not only made my situation worse but has ruined the lives and mental health of several friends and colleagues. Upon speaking with the NASW, BetterHelp is NOT endorsed by most professional organizations due to its lack of accountability for seriously dangerous violations.
