Communicate your way
Talk to your therapist however you feel comfortable — text, chat, audio, or video. You can expect the same professionalism as an in-office therapist.
Therapy when you need it
You can message your therapist at anytime, from anywhere online. You also get to schedule live sessions when it's convenient for you, and can connect from any mobile device or computer.
Every therapist providing services on BetterHelp is a qualified and experienced counselor, psychologist, social worker, or therapist. They must also have a relevant academic degree, at least 3 years of experience, and have credentials from their professional organization. This includes completing the necessary education, exams, training, and practice requirements. We refer to therapists across our sites and apps according to their professional title and credentials, as recognized in the jurisdiction responsible for their profession.
After you sign up, we will match you to an available therapist who fits your objectives, preferences, and the type of issues you are dealing with. If you feel your therapist isn't a good fit for you, you may elect to be matched to a different therapist.
BetterHelp may be right for you if you're looking to improve the quality of your life. Whenever there is anything that interferes with your happiness or prevents you from achieving your goals, we may be able to help. We also have therapists who specialize in specific issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, addictions, eating, sleeping, trauma, anger, family conflicts, LGBT matters, grief, religion, self esteem, and more.
BetterHelp is not the right solution for you if any of the following is true:
- You are a minor or you are under the care of a legal guardian
- You are in an urgent crisis or an emergency situation
- You were required to undergo therapy either by a court order or by any other authority
- You do not have a device that can connect to the Internet or you do not have a reliable Internet connection
The cost of therapy through BetterHelp ranges from $70 to $100 per week (billed every 4 weeks), and it is based on your location, source, preferences, and therapist availability. You can cancel your membership at any time, for any reason.
You can get therapy in four ways:
- Exchanging messages with your therapist
- Chatting live with your therapist
- Speaking over the phone with your therapist
- Video conferencing with your therapist
You can use different ways at different times as you wish, based on your needs, availability, and convenience.
The matching process can take a few hours or a few days, depending on therapist availability.
The professionals who work through BetterHelp are registered therapists who hold the proper credentials to provide therapy. However, while the service may have similar benefits, it's not capable of substituting for traditional face-to-face therapy in every case. Please note that your therapist won't be able to make any official diagnosis, to fulfill any court order or prescribe medication.
