My most recent therapist was someone from BetterHelp.com. I could afford that even back then and can still afford it now.
I saw her for 2 years from early 2020 til early 2022. She got me through the pandemic, helped lead me to my current job, and even encouraged me toward my most recent relationship. Now, granted, I ended up completely failing at the latter 2 things but that’s on me not her. She ended up leaving the website to take her practice elsewhere and I didn’t have it in me to try a new therapist and didn’t feel it was necessary at the time. I could give BetterHelp.com another go?
HOWEVER, i’ve heard a lot of really negative things about it since that time including that their therapists aren’t fully qualified and the website even sells personal information. Anyone else hear this? Anyone else have an opinion on Better Help? Is it worth it to go back? It is one of the few options that would be affordable to me at this time and the fact that I already have some familiarity with it does give me a certain level of comfort. Plus, I already have an account on the site so I will just need to change my payment method and request a new therapist. It’s certainly the easiest and quickest option at the time. I’m just very unsure about them because of what I’ve heard!
