I live abroad. My income is limited. And I needed help in a place where mental health counseling options were limited. Not only as a client, but also as a physician and health researcher, I HIGHLY recommend this service. It is especially helpful for people who need it, but also for those just looking for practical ways to improve their mental well being. They have brought together many well-known, proven methods for improving one's mental well-being in an easily accessible, low-cost platform. Even being abroad, I found a US-based counselor soon after signing up, and we have been able to be flexible given the time differences, and able to stay connected outside of our scheduled sessions via the Betterhelp messaging interface. You may lose out on face-to-face sessions, but for people in need - such as myself - there are always obstacles to overcome on the path to being a better you.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
