Counselor - amazing Platform - terrible
My counselor was amazing, BetterHelp itself is a nightmare. My counselor and I had frequent technical issues (her being unable to log in or start a video call, frequent audio from another source playing in the background (it sounded like a radio show?)). She missed a session on 8/14 due to technical issues and hasn't been able to log on to respond to me since. When I reached out to support with this information to see if they could help, they implied I was upset because I hadn't communicated my expectations for frequency of contact, suggested I contact another counselor, and told me they couldn't confirm she was having technical issues for me, I should just message her via the platform to contact support. For a customer service team dealing with people who could be having a crises and unable to contact the counselor they'd been working with, that is an unacceptable response.
