BetterHelp provides a great platform for people in remote areas to connect with therapists. The company works with you if you need to change therapists and makes it very easy to do so, until you find the therapist who is best at helping you. In addition, BetterHelp provides online courses to help with common reasons people come in for therapy. I have benefitted greatly from the time I've spent with my therapist and this has benefitted my children and improved my social relationships as well. I would recommend BetterHelp for anybody who is busy--anyone who could benefit from therapy but who only has time outside normal business hours or who lives in a remote location.

So far so good. The journal feature on the BetterHelp app is kinda screwed up though

Better help has been life changing for me. After having my first baby back in 2017 I became a stay at home mom while also battling depression, anxiety, and toxic family problems from my family of origin that I was afraid of letting affect the lives of my children, as well as continuing to affect mine. I knew I needed therapy but seeing someone in person turned out to be nearly impossible. I ended up finding BetterHelp and it made therapy accessible for me which was a life saver. I was also able to work with different therapists until I found the perfect fit for me. Finding a therapist as amazing as mine and having the virtual flexability of the app really has been completely life changing for me. I've been using BetterHelp on and off as I need it since 2017 and it's 2023 now, I always get to continue working with my same therapist every time I come back when I need more help or just a listening ear. I recommend BetterHelp to anyone I talk with who is interested in therapy. I love BetterHelp.

I’ve worked with therapists a handful of times in traditional settings, and the therapist I worked with locally retired so I thought I’d try tele-therapy. I wasn’t sure it would be a good fit for me but gladly it’s worked out really well. The technology works smoothly and although we’re not in the same room my therapist Eden Costa and I quickly established good rapport. I especially appreciate how well Eden balances supporting me with providing practical suggestions and motivation to help me reach my goals. The app makes it easy to schedule and communicate, and has a journal feature that is useful for writing about things I’m feeling or want to work on. In sum, it’s working out really well for me and I encourage anyone thinking about it to try it.

I was able to find a therapist that met my requirements and could accommodate my busy schedule.

This platform is very convenient and easy to use. I would highly recommend this platform.

Came to Better Help at this time of great racism in our country. I was angry, hurt, and disillusioned as a Woman of Color and a Believer. I needed a therapist who not only looked like me, but also I needed someone who got the experience of being a Woman of Color and a Believer. Her frankness, kindness, compassion, and understanding have been very healing to me!! Better Help has made this possible by understanding that People of Color need therapists who get it. They’ve made it possible by working with me financially to make therapy more accessible as well as affordable! If you’re a Woman or Man of Color, you need therapy. What we’ve endured has produced trauma in us from centuries before we were even born. While we didn’t have a say over our painful pasts, we do have a say over the healing!

My therapist is very caring and concerned about helping me. His confidence that he can help me makes it easier for me to share my problems and seek solutions. He communicates quickly by text after I send him a short text. It is a high point of my week to talk to my therapist. I may not be in the same room with him but I feel heard, and that is half the battle. I am a Christ follower and he understands and respects that, which is important to me.
