BetterHelp - My 3 month experience
I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t sure how an online counseling app would help me improve my mental health. I always thought being face-to-face with a counselor would be the best option for me when discussing my trauma and history with a professional. But BetterHelp pleasantly surprised me with how much MORE interactive it is than sitting down with someone physically. The way they set you up with a counselor is very straightforward, you write out your history and what you think you need the most help improving. They also offer multiple counselors for you to choose to make sure it’s a right fit, and just in case it isn’t it’s very easy to switch to a new therapist. My counselor was very nurturing and informative - I found I learned so much about psychology from her. As a college student I loved this form of learning and it felt so personal to me. All she taught me about myself and the psychological world around me was very important information and I don’t think I’ll ever forget what she did for me. Overall, this is a great service and it’s easy to get started. They really live up to their name, plus if you’re struggling financially they do offer aid in that regard. It is much more affordable than face-to-face counseling however, and I found their prices to be very fair for what they offer. I would highly recommend BetterHelp to anyone struggling mentally and needs to talk to someone in some fashion more than just once a week.
