extremely sincere…Betterhelp Copyright Infringement… review of better help i’ve been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i think i’ve utilized it long enough to understand what are the cons and pros so i’m going to stroll you through all of those and then provide you my final thoughts on whether i would advise better aid and whether or not i believe it’s the ideal service for you for those of you that do not understand betterhelp is an online counseling platform that connects people who are searching for counseling or treatment with psychological health specialists it’s a pretty easy process to start so initially you fill out an online survey it asks you some concerns that will much better help match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you submit what i would call a quite prolonged survey they ask you to produce an account and then you set up your payment preferences i’ll discuss this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can lower the price and after that you can likewise change your choice on how typically
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly but you can likewise pay in advance and that will make the cost cheaper for you overall and after that based upon your answers to your questions in the formerly mentioned survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not always the case and i think that better assistance offers both kinds of mental health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to talk to them and you can set up a time to have your first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular phone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls but it is good to know that all four alternatives three really to me but they state it’s four are offered and i understand that’s absolutely great for some individuals who are maybe a little bit more nervous about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them unpleasant when the day of your session comes you can either log into the web browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and after that you wait on your therapist to sign up with and they will connect you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can start having your your conference throughout your first session you’re probably going to have just a be familiar with you kind of session to find out why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to resolve what are your preferences as somebody participating in treatment what are your counselors choices and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first meeting and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can talk about your issues and whatever it is that you want to attend to and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your therapist so with my counselor in particular i believe this does differ by counselor however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have actually paid for all of my sessions beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the biggest pros of better help is that it is an online counseling service which makes it very hassle-free and very accessible for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a range of different ways to meet your counselor so you can do text video calls or phone calls they send you reminders about your visit so it’s quite hard to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email pointers and text pointers and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh certainly effective and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to anybody who uses betterhelp completely for free it’s at no extra cost to what you currently pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of draws specifically thinking about that much better help in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to connect you to their network i indicate i guess they’re selling the network but i believe actually what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s pretty clunky there are no choices for screen sharing Betterhelp Copyright Infringement
