Better Help is a simple discreet way of getting the counseling we need to cope with various things that creep up in our lives. They match you with a caring, compassionate counselor. One that is experienced in many areas based on your needs. Reverend Beyer was a wonderful listener and had such helpful responses to what I was going through! He helped me find the tools I needed to give me even more helpful information.

BetterHelp made it easy to find a therapist, they were flexible when I needed to change. I know my wellbeing is in my hands and there are always people to help. I love my therapist and I love the journal option for keeping track of my own growth. I started seeking a therapist in 2019 then stopped, then re-opened the app in October 2022 in crisis, then stopped, then returned in December of 2022. The wellness journey is as much about you as it is about anybody else. Be brave. You can do this, and let the person who actually wants to help you -- be there for you.

Having the opportunity to try out therapy is a game changer. Also, the fact that financial assistance is offered is great, because many desperately need the help, but can't afford to pay what is charged.

BetterHelp was my first experience with any kind of therapy. The cons: I didn’t care much for the therapist that was assigned to me, but was glad I got to choose a different therapist. Sessions are only 40 minutes, which SUCKS because you’re just getting into things at 40 minutes! At the very least it should be 60 minutes. So for the expensive, out of pocket price (not covered under any insurance) not sure it’s worth it. The pros: I love the therapist I have now. She’s always a message away and knowledgable. The group sessions are also good, although I wish there more available in the evenings for people who work all day. The group sessions let you know you’re not alone in your struggles. The adage is true, misery does love company.

Better help is literally ONLY therapy services. If you think you’ll want a formal diagnosis or any type of medication or further support beyond talking to someone, seek help elsewhere. This service is quite expensive for the lack of care they provide as a service. Over $300/month for one session a week is predatory. But literally anyone can get financial assistance! (40% discount!) they don’t ask for any proof of income, maybe like 10 ish questions to fill out, get that discount if you haven’t already and don’t have insurance!! If you have insurance I would strongly suggest waiting to get into an office near you. The only reason I even signed up is because I didn’t have insurance and this service was available to those without. I will not recommend this service to anyone.

My therapist cancelled a few hours before the session Instead she rescheduled to next week thereby making my weekly session futile. So I changed therapist. Both therapist do not chat much. I wanted a full refund but they don't seem to honor it. I should have read the reviews from app store. The app was buggy too and took minutes to load.

My experience truly surprised me. I was assigned a therapist younger than me. I thought she might not be able to help me, and I was pleasantly surprised. She is highly intellectual, always gives me ideas for approaching situations in a new way, and provides me with useful information for implementing positive strategies for change. I am lucky to have Better Help.

BetterHelp has been an extremely valuable resource my school has offered to us as students through my doctoral program... I've struggled to find an available therapist for months previous to getting my therapist through BetterHelp. My therapist is a match made in heaven for me. She's lived very similar life experiences going through her own grad school experiences so her abilities and perspective during my pursuing of these professional goals have been deeply encouraging from someone who has actually been there. Totally recommend! So thankful for this service!
