I'm a person born with an intersex condition and am survivor of non-consented hormone treatment by the national health service, back in the early 1990s when I was a small teen. My fate was the fate of many other intersex people who reached their suggested puberty time during that era. It has taken me decades, including some years of being depressed and suicidal (in a great part because of the prescribed hormones) when I was younger, to start to figure out what gender identity I wish and what gender identities I do not wish for my self now that I am a grownup. As it is also common for us, the adult intersex population in society, my local LGBT center turned its back on me when I asked for their help. We are often the invisible crowd, even in LGBT+ or trans realms. But BetterHelp was and is there for me, saving my dignity and my faith in life each week. I am grateful beyond words.

I feel I got lucky in getting the counselor I did. It was a risky step to get help in the first place but I am glad I did. For me I was able to get the help I needed in a short amount of time.

BetterHelp matched me with an excellent therapist based on my needs. Not only do I have the ability to schedule online, meet weekly, and send/receive messages, there is a section for journaling which has proved to be incredibly therapeutic. I can choose from many different prompts or just write about whatever is on my mind. I can keep the entries private or share them with my therapist so she knows in advance what has been going on with me before we meet. After years of traditional ways of finding a therapist, BetterHelp has proven to be the simplest and intuitive way to get help.

Currently using BetterHelp at a discounted price as a full time student. Service was very timely and personalised. First therapist I had matched with was not right for me and they themselves recommended a second one. The second therapist was perfect and have been seeing them for almost a year now. Good rapport, timely responses and very tailored sessions. Highly reccommed

So as someone who thought therapy was the worst thing and would not help I stranded myself and ended up locking myself away. And when I did decide I needed help I couldn't get out of bed to make ot to the appointments. And my therapist had given up on me. Until I found better help. I won't say every one you meet here is going to be the best help but it has helped me. I had to cycle through 2 before I found my therapist who has actually helped me and helped me to understand myself and to help myself. So if you are like me and need help but can't seem to make to a physical space better help might just be the answer.

Great service that has helped me through my problems.

A great way to get help even if you are miles a part. The therapist will listen and give self help exercises to take with you through this process. They are always willing to listen.

I’ve been utilizing BetterHelp for about three months now, and it’s really helping me. While some people may look at virtual therapy as in someway less authentic, I find that’s not the case at all. I get the same experience talking to Dora via a video call as I did when I had an in-person therapist. And for me, the virtual aspect is a benefit for sure. When I’m at my worst and need help most, I can’t cancel my appointments because I can’t get the energy to drive there. I just have to go to the app. That’s the best part for me! I would recommend this to anyone who feels like they need a therapist and either can’t find one in their area at an affordable price, or simply isn’t well enough to leave his or her house to go to a session. It’s been an answer to prayer for me.
