I like digital health and trying new apps. I signed up on a whim to check how the app works, what it offers, and maybe find a therapist.
I did not sign up for the sliding scale because I didn't know what the rules were. The initial price was high and I waited to be matched with a therapist to see if it was worth it. The first therapist I was matched with was meh and canceled before we even got the chance to meet.
BetterHelp offered me a better price and I took it to test out the system, thinking that no good therapist would accept this.
I was very honest in my description of what I was looking for. I am reading a lot and I wanted someone who would know who's Brene Brown or Gretchen Rubin.
Finally, I was matched with an excellent therapist. I'm very happy, and the whole process took less than 2 weeks, at a competitive price. I would have been lucky to get here without this app, by just calling and trying out local therapists.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
