Therapy has given me more tools to cope with my mental health and provides me with a safe space to be authentically me, feel my emotions and process them in a healthy way. I feel supported and cared about. I enjoy the virtual platform and messaging between sessions. Highly recommend to anyone regardless of past experience with therapy. Betterhelp has been crucial to my overall wellness and is something I am grateful for.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
