I enjoy better help. My current therapist has been such a blessing, this platform is so useful and comfortable!

I have experienced nothing but good with Betterhelp.. I would strongly recommend them.

I lost my Mom and wife within 36 days, and the grief was overwhelming. My therapist was a life saver to me. This was beyond “who moved my cheese”; more like the love discussed in the Bible and the loss- what do I do now?!? Ok, so the apostles saw Jesus a couple days later and was provided direction. Major difference than what occurred to me. But my therapist beautifully listened and heard what I was going through and provided a toolset to start to recover, and continued to do so as I grew. I no longer have my wife and mother, two major attachments I had. I was left with just the here and now. Am I 100% better? No, that will never happen, but recognize, now, that they will always be with me. They made me the man I am today, and I thank the lord every day for the time we had together. Therapy works! This works. Give it time, and you too will come to understand.

I have tried better help for 3 weeks, my first week my therapist didn't show up to virtual session and provided no reason and no rescheduling. This is despite the 3reminder emails/ messages I received reminding me the session was taking place. The therapist then told me this was due to a dodgy lunch in a message (30mins into when my session was supposed to be). Clearly untrue as otherwise you would have rescheduled the appointment if they didn't feel well enough. As I result of this breakdown in trust I asked to change therapists. I had 1 session with the new therapist which went well and I said things which I have never told anyone and felt positive about my next upcoming session. Again I received 3 reminder emails reminding me of the date/time of the session and again... I got stood up by my therapist! This has completely eroded my trust in therapy and therapists and it has hurt me really deeply to be forgotten and feel unwanted. I am aware that things happen in life and can't always be helped but that is exactly what the option of rescheduling is for. It just shows a complete lack of regard for the time and experience of others and shows how unprofessional it is possible to be in this relatively unregulated app format of therapy.

I have had a really good experience with Betterhelp. I am learning about myself and just knowing I'm not alone in how my brain works has helped me make more progress than I have in the last decade! I just wish there were more subscription options.

I was reluctant to use this service after a bad experience with a similar company but Better help really worked. Talking with my therapist has helped me greatly.

My strength comes from the self-examination I have done with this app.

My therapist through BetterHelp has made more headway with me in the last few weeks than any of my therapists have in my past combined. Plus she checks in with me often in between sessions just to see how I am. I've never had another therapist do that.
