I needed some serious help. My life was spiraling out of control, and I felt as though I was locked in a cage. I tried searching for teletherapy, e-therapy, online therapy, and even tried to make appointments with a local therapist. Not only would they not take my insurance but were asking for over $300 for an office visit or no appointments were available for the next three months.

I stumbled upon BetterHelp from a website and looked them up. I took a chance, filled out the profile, applied for a scholarship, and was matched with a therapist. I immediately gave her my entire mental health history, and medications I had taken and what was currently going on.

I love being able to text my therapist any time and get a timely response back. Once a week we schedule phone talks so we can go into deep discussions. What I liked best is I didn’t have to wait for an appointment, I didn’t have to pay money upfront, I got the help I need, recommendations, and little assignments to help me get better.

Four months later I’m proud to say I’m a new person. My therapist was beyond excited just as I was with the progress I made. I know at any time I could probably fall back, but we keep talking even though I’m no longer in that dark place. What’s even better is she's helping my daughter and my husband (who is a veteran with PTSD).

BetterHelp also has live webinars on different topics where you can get additional advice from other therapists.

It’s an amazing service, and I highly recommend using it to everyone feeling trapped and locked.
