A scam
BetterHelp is a scam! They aren't focused on mental health at all. They take advantage of the struggling and suffering to make a quick buck. They will nickel and dime you at EVERY opportunity. DO NOT support them!
So Far, Good!
I've had a great experience thus far with my therapist. While BetterHelp is definitely pricy and does not take insurance, I do think it's accessible and a good start for those wanting to try therapy. Trust me, I was skeptical too!
Not Very Good...
Had terrible past experiences as an LGBTQ+ person with the therapist. Constant cancelling appointments. Not very professional...
good!
Definitely not a bad resource. I think it would be great for short-term use until you can see an actual therapist. it is a little pricy, other than that I think it would be great.
Convenient but lacking effectiveness
Although the online features provide convenience and ease of use; personally this is not as effective as in-person

Easily Accesible
The website and platform is easily accessible. It was easy to find what I needed or what I may need.

Expensive for little results
They don’t accept insurance so it’s expensive for meeting with a therapist every other week for 15 minutes.

Extremely easy to use
I really like this but I would much rather talk to a person rather then to a robot

Helpful in Crisis, feel I needed a in person relationship for long-term mental health
Really helpful for short-term help. I see ethical issues present with licensing and accountability, but I have had great benefit with this app!
