They make finding a counselor so easy! I couldn't be happier with this decision. One of my best decisions in life...

Better Help set me up with a counselor, who I am certain is exceptional in her field, but wasn't trained in my needs. I didn't give up and found a new therapist to help with my mental needs. I recommend Better Help to those who need all types of counseling. During this pandemic we can all use a place to dump our frustrations. In addition, they can also handle tough mental crises.

I love this service it's affordable and they don't push drugs. My counselor is great better than any I've seen in my area. Great service I highly recommende

Really great therapist I was matched with, has a quiz that helps you find a payment option that works best for you even if you don’t think you can afford normal therapy. Might be hard for students or someone without a stable income to pay but regardless if you can’t afford it you can pay as low as 30 dollars a week based on the quiz when you first get the app.

To say 2020 was a tough year would be the understatement of the century. Mid way through the pandemic I felt like I wasn’t going to last much longer on this earth if I didn’t get immediate help for my intrusive thoughts. I already had one therapist, but she could only do biweekly and I was in such an abyssal low I needed more support. So I checked out BetterHelp and am extremely happy I did. Being able to text my thoughts and road blocks was such a relief since I could get everything out and also have a reference point instead of a long rambling verbal complaint where things get forgotten or missed. My first therapist was a bust she sent me an automated response after a particularly vulnerable message where I admitted to suicidal thoughts. I almost quit the service, but the humans behind the scenes at BetterHelp reached out, gave me a free week, and connected me with my current therapist Jerrilynn. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! She relates to me on a very personal level of sibling loss, but also holds me accountable when I just want to wallow in the misery. We set weekly goals that I either do or don’t do and then we discuss why that is. Amazing. It’s already made quarantine with my fiancé easier because now I have tools and coping mechanisms in place that allow me to step back and say “this is not your problem this is an issue with my perception one moment please”. So many times we don’t even realize we are projecting ourselves onto the world and humans around us. I always look forward to my BetterHelp sessions and the ability to check in throughout the week if things get overwhelming or I just have specific thoughts I need to bounce off an objective licensed professional. Can’t recommend BetterHelp enough. Life is tough no need to do this journey alone and it’s quite thrilling to see all the ways I’ve been holding myself back and all the ways I can take onus of my life and really start living it.

I have always avoided therapy, and even disliked it when I gave it multiple tries. This service makes things so much easier, as it is so convenient. If you are shy about speaking your mind like me, I would highly suggest this! My life has changed for the better.

This platform allows for 24/7 conversational type texts, phone, video, although texts work for me. My therapist, Angela Casey doesn’t take a “how does that make you feel” approach, nor is it shoved into one hour where I might not fully express myself or have time to ask or compile questions. It’s a new dawn in therapy. Don’t shy away, thinking you’ve tried it all. Switch therapists as often as you feel is needed, and no time limits or ticking clocks on conversations. Do it. Try it for a month. They offer hardship discounts, so don’t let the price put you initially off. They work with you in every way in this modern, fresh platform

This has been the perfect counseling experience for me. I didn't want to see someone in person due to Covid concerns and I love that I can message my counselor anytime I need to. She sets boundaries on when she will respond, which I value for her own well being and my own. She always lets me know that if I think something is urgent she will get back to me outside of those boundaries. This has been amazing and the best thing for me!
