brutally truthful…David Kasdan Betterhelp… evaluation of better assistance i’ve been using the service for a little over a year now and i think i’ve used it long enough to understand what are the cons and pros so i’m going to walk you through all of those and then offer you my final thoughts on whether or not i would recommend much better aid and whether i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that don’t know betterhelp is an online therapy platform that connects people who are searching for therapy or treatment with psychological health experts it’s a pretty easy process to get going so initially you fill out an online questionnaire it asks you some concerns that will much better help match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you complete what i would call a quite prolonged questionnaire they ask you to create an account and then you set up your payment choices i’ll discuss this a little bit more later but there are scholarships that can decrease the cost and then you can likewise alter your choice on how typically

you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive but you can also pay in advance and that will make the expense cheaper for you general and then based upon your answers to your questions in the formerly mentioned questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not necessarily the case and i believe that much better aid uses both types of mental health experts so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to speak to them and you can set up a time to have your first official meeting so it can either be through a video call through a routine call or through a chat or instant message i constantly do video calls but it is excellent to know that all four alternatives 3 truly to me but they say it’s 4 are available and i know that’s definitely helpful for some individuals who are possibly a little bit more anxious about therapy or not interested in doing a video call because it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet 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 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 begin having your your conference throughout your very 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 want to resolve what are your preferences as someone participating in therapy what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first conference 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 problems and whatever it is that you wish to address and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or however you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor in particular i think this does vary by counselor but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have actually spent for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that more affordable rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the greatest pros of better aid is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it extremely convenient and really accessible for most people as long as you have a web connection you can pick a range of various ways to meet with your therapist so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you suggestions about your consultation so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both email reminders and text suggestions and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh certainly reliable and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are readily available to any person who uses betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no extra expense to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not very good in fact it kind of draws especially thinking about that much better help 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 indicate i guess they’re offering the network but i believe truly what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no options for screen sharing David Kasdan Betterhelp
