I have recommended Betterhelp to several people I know. For me, the ability to schedule therapy and do it from home is vital since I work and have a special needs kiddo. It's expensive and difficult to afford all the time. The discounts help a little.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amazing therapist that helps me work and achieve my goals in therapy . I am in a much better spot now than I was when we started
I am extremely fortunate to have been matched to Piper through better help. I was sure I would have to go through several therapists to find one that really fit me, but I am so thrilled, that i was matched to her the first time and she is a perfect fit!! Her voice is calm, and is very soothing, sensitive and understanding and has a level of compassion that makes talking with her effortless. I would highly recommend her, and I cant wait to speak with her each week. Thank you Better Help and thank you Piper
She has been so kind and supportive and helps me feel less alone. I've been to therapy before but I've never looked forward to sessions before. No judgment and valid advise, I truly appreciate her help!
Piper is a genuine, empathetic human— who isn’t afraid to contemplate or counter your beliefs in a light that truly has your best interest in mind.
Piper has been absolutely wonderful in our initial sessions! She listens closely and asks the right questions. I can’t wait to continue working with her.
She is an excellent listener who shows genuine care and concern for your well-being, asks insightful questions and encourages a healthy self-dialog to sort through struggles, and gently guides you through them. I highly recommend her!
So far I am very happy with Piper and I am confident that she will help me improve my life!
Piper is an amazing therapist , I have only been working with her a short period of time and love every session even if they can be hard. I’ve been through hundreds of hours of therapy in patient and outpatient and have never been able to clearly grief and I can honestly say that I am taking steps in that process
Piper has been wonderful for me. I look forward to our sessions and I feel better after we speak
So far, love working with Piper. She has great, thought provoking questions and suggestions.
