extremely honest…Betterhelp Woman Telehealth… evaluation of much better help i have actually been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i think i have actually utilized it long enough to understand what are the pros and cons so i’m going to stroll you through all of those and then offer you my final thoughts on whether i would suggest better aid and whether or not i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that don’t understand betterhelp is an online counseling platform that connects individuals who are trying to find counseling or treatment with psychological health professionals it’s a pretty basic procedure to begin so initially you complete an online survey it asks you some questions that will much better assist match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you complete what i would call a pretty prolonged survey they ask you to create an account and then you set up your payment preferences i’ll talk about this a little bit more later however there are scholarships that can lower the price and after that you can likewise alter your preference on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive however you can likewise pay in advance which will make the cost less expensive for you general and then based on your answers to your questions in the formerly pointed out questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not always the case and i think that much better assistance provides both types of psychological health professionals so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you’re able to speak with them and you can establish a time to have your first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a regular telephone call or through a chat or instant message i constantly do video calls but it is great to know that all four alternatives three truly to me however they say it’s 4 are offered and i understand that’s absolutely great for some people who are perhaps a little bit more nervous about therapy or not thinking about doing a video call because it makes them unpleasant when the day of your session comes you can either log into the 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 for your counselor to join and they will link 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 during your first session you’re probably going to have simply a be familiar with you kind of session to determine why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as someone attending treatment what are your counselors preferences and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the very first conference and then with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can discuss your problems and whatever it is that you wish to attend to and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you spent 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 however i have actually paid for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the biggest pros of better assistance is that it is an online therapy service which makes it really accessible and very convenient for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a variety of different methods to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or phone calls they send you suggestions about your visit so it’s pretty difficult to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail tips and text suggestions and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely reliable and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are readily available to any person who uses betterhelp totally free of charge it’s at no additional cost to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not great in fact it kind of draws especially considering that better aid in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re offering the network however i think really what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s quite clunky there are no choices for screen sharing Betterhelp Woman Telehealth
or chatting or messaging during a session images are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can only send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse choose the image then put it in and then the individual can’t see a sneak peek of the photo they have to click into the file to see it it’s just really outdated small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages do not send it in fact creates a line break so
