I have really enjoyed better help. They have a great range of topics for group sessions. I feel like this app has helped me stay easily connected with my therapist.

The councilors on here can be a bit random and not everyone is the same on their approach but luckily you get the chance to look and pick. Other apps just assign you someone and doesn't allow you to talk before your meeting but with Better Help you can get a feel of the person through their bios and communicate with before your first appointment and see if their chemistry and ways of understanding will benefit you. I went through several before I found the right one but happy I did!

Early last year I already had a therapist but stopped going because it was like they needed a therapist. Missing appointments without notification and then disappearing at the last minute, literally not showing up when I was there. It got tired so I looked for another therapist. Tried a non-traditional path with a lets say life coach. That worked for a little bit, I was given some literature to read and exercises and it helped. But then I started having issues like I was triggered and it ramped right back up almost where I left off. I had a few more sessions left but then I decided let me do my groups again and that worked and I discovered some things and how to cope with what was causing my issues, majority of the external identified and dealt with. I needed to find out what was wrong after all of the therapists, prayers, groups etc. I finally reached out for the second time to better help and this time I followed through. After one session I found out what was wrong with me. It was me and now I know. After about 15 years of going through all of this and in one session I found out, I was happy and mad. Like I wasted some money and some time but I have some crazy stories out of my experiences, yes pun intended. If you are reading this and need some or would like some clarity with some situations you find yourself in or issues reach out to someone. I have no support family wise and very few friends or people I can trust especially since I am older and see a bunch of the BS and this therapist helped. He didn't look like it and I was skeptical but he proved me wrong. I'm glad I have available, thank God

One thing that has made my experience great are all the reminders about therapy sessions and the helpful invitations to journal. This journaling has been invaluable to me and I love that I have a easily accessible record of what I have written that I can refer to. And, most of all, I am grateful for therapists like Stacey who have been so supportive of my progress. She is incredibly alert and kind and present during our sessions. And that's the way I feel about the site in general. It is respectful of clients and does everything possible to make my experience as pleasant and as helpful as possible.

The ease of this service and all it's benefits is fantastic. It helps people who are scared or nervous to go face to face or have an extremely busy schedule to still get the help they need. My only feedback is to maybe offer discounts for people who need long term therapy such as myself. (I've been with better help for 3 years now) - ive refered many people and copied that link many times. I'm just one person by myself and money is difficult so just offering some feedback that sometimes helping the people who stick through this for the long haul is nice. Otherwise, thank you for everything you do - it's wonderful and appreciated. You save lives.

Cora Strickland, the therapist I'm working with through BetterHelp is wonderful. I love that she asks me good questions about how I come to my decisions, is very supportive, and I appreciate how she walks with me through my thought process. She will say things like, "This is what we both want for you! Well done!" Cora is empathetic, skilled, kind, and positive. I enjoy working with her and know that my mental health is better because she's a part of that.

Because Better Help is a virtual experience I can prioritize my mental health within my busy schedule. I don't have to drive to an office or worry about taking extra time off work. I schedule my therapy visits for what works best for me and it's making a big difference! Not only is the virtual aspect great, but I was paired with a therapist that hears what I'm not saying and demonstrates techniques to work through my anxiety. I would and have recommended Better Help to anyone seeking assistance with their mental health!

I really look forward to my sessions with my therapist each week. I lost my mom last year in February and the first of everything was really getting to me. I started therapy and it has given me a safe haven.
