    BetterHelp

    Manipulative and offensive

    • Length of Use: 3–6 months
    Overall Experience:

    All I asked for was a conversation and all I got in return was allegations that I was dishonest, that BetterHelp was for people who had "less severe mental health issues." The irony in all of this is that I was asking for help resolving communication errors and I thought a relationship counselor would be the one to talk to. Instead, I got 3 messages for the whole week, none of which were about my issues, all of which were her telling me she thought I wasn't forthcoming and had mental issues, and then finally she said she didn't like my tone when I asked her what she meant...right before canceling our scheduled live session...so she REFUSED to even listen to me to see if all her predictions about who I was as a person were even right! Absolutely insane that this person is a relationship counselor when she refused to even listen to me and just sent accusation after accusation. What an absolute scam! The great irony is that I was seeking help with my communication skills, which I told her, and she refused me due to my communication skills. Seriously, how is this person a counselor?

    Pros and Cons:

    • I liked that she was a coward who instead of saying that she didn't want me as a client she told me ALL of BetterHelp isn't for me
    • I liked that she said I wasn't very forthcoming when I was completely honest and she was just looking for reasons to dislike me
    • I like that when I asked for help with communication skills, she told me she didn't like my tone and told me to find another counselor
    • I paid money for this abuse
    • I was honest and forthcoming and opened myself up to this person before being told off
    • I don't even know who this woman was or if her credentials are real

    Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
