BAD EXPERIENCE WITH NICK BUTCHER Nick would not answer my texts, was late to our first session, didn't try to get to know me or my issues, just wanted to push medication on me which I said just a couple minutes in that I was not willing to take. The session was then about how old he was and a long post about what an expert he was, and condescending analogies as he continued to try to push medication on me. Is he reimbursed per prescription he writes? He was typing over me the entire time-the equivalent of interrupting, not reading to respond. I was not given an option for any other format with him, had asked for a female therapist but was told they were low on therapists and so I was keeping an open mind. His response to my question if he was qualified to discuss NPD abuse was "very". He said he was a "solution based" therapist and I asked how he can suggest solutions when he doesn't even know what my issues are? He read only one word "depression" and the only solution for him was "medication". He then suggested I write out my abuse in a journal and he would comment on the journal or ask questions as he saw fit. I told him I wasn't comfortable doing that, that I wanted to discuss issues that had arisen since a death in the family. He didn't want to do that. I was triggered and crying by this point. What a waste of time and what worries me is other less boundary-capable patients he might be given. Customer service was kind in demeanor and says they have refunded the hundreds of dollars in pre-pay but it can take up to 2 days to be refunded.

I have been wanting to start therapy for quite some time but could never find the time to actually attend a therapy session. When I heard about Better Help, and the flexible scheduling it provides via an online platform, I thought that I would give this medium a try -- and I am so happy that I did. Better Help helped me find the therapist that was right for me. I was able to specify that I wanted a non-religious therapist that specializes in family relationships. I was paired with a therapist who has been really wonderful for me, and since she lives in another state, I would not have meet her had I not given virtual therapy a try. My therapist is kind, honest, and professional, and I believe that she and I will be able to make great progress on the issues that I want to explore via therapy.

At first i was skeptical and eventually I found a counselor I feel is truly helpful and honest. I have really been growing into a better version of myself and appreciate our talks and the guidance from my counselor.

Carol was extremely rude and unprofessional as she abruptly hung up during the session. She felt she could no longer help me as a counselor as she "couldn't identify what type of help I was looking to receive from her". (quote from Carol) Additionally she fell asleep (dozed off) 3xs during the session and I was kind enough not to address that she was dozing on and off during the session. I thought this was an one-off scenario as I had not experienced this behavior from her previously. As the session continued she became aggressive with her dialogue which made me very uncomfortable. When Carol was asked the reasons for her frustration she could not provide any valid data points. As I tried to understand Carol’s frustration with my counseling to help to identify a resolve she became even more irate. I even tried to appease her concerns and frustrations which made Carol even more combative and unable to express herself effectively. She needs to improve her communication skills and professional behavior. This is a mental health platform and this exchange has caused more harm than good dealing with Carol's unpredictable behavior. I would not refer Carol and think she should be removed from this platform =. Her behavior was untoward and very concerning as we have not had any issues in the previous sessions. She may have just been cranky because she was dozing on and off during the session. That does not justify the way she treated me during this session. Advice for Counselor: TAKE A NAP Carol and come to the scheduled sessions prepared to do your job as a counselor (attentive and professional) . Learn to communicate effectively and not explode due to unexpressed frustration which could have been mitigated.

I’ve had A great overall experience with BetterHelp, I luckily found a therapist that works with my schedule, she fits perfectly in the time frame that I am available, which is 8 PM/10 PM, I could not imagine any other therapist besides on betterhelp.com that would do that for somebody

Finding BetterHelp has been a gift I wish I had given myself sooner. I love my therapist. I love being able to schedule a video chat at my convenience. I've seen a significant reduction in my anxiety since my very first session. I want to refer all my friends who are struggling with mental health issues, emotional trauma, and stress.

This app is so useful. You take a quick survey and they match you up with a therapist that specializes in your needs. If you want you can easily switch too! The journal feature is nice, you can text your therapist at any time, and you schedule your own appointments and do them virtually; either a video or voice call.

I'm really enjoying therapy through Better Help. At first I was matched with a male counselor but in a follow up email I replied that I preferred a female therapist of my age range. Instantly I was paired with a fantastic therapist named Maria. Money is a concern for me as it has been since the start of the pandemic. After three sessions with Maria I have decided that is money well spent for the peace of mind I received during and after my session. If you're considering it give it a try. It can't hurt.
