I signed up for BetterHelp because I was looking for a therapist to help me work through some things. The sign-up process was quick and painless. I was able to select the traits that I was looking for in a therapist as well as my preferred format. I prefer doing video sessions, but there are other options available. I was matched with a therapist within 24 hours after I signed up and she met all of my preferences.
I’m not big on giving reviews, but the app is really well-designed. There is an area where you can journal and you can choose whether or not to share your journal entries with your therapist. I chose to share mine because it gave my therapist a chance to read more about what has been going on with me before our first meeting. I still use it to add things that happen during the week that I may want to discuss. There is also an option for group classes, but I have not looked into it.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is in need of some help working through things.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
