How it works
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Some might think that therapy is only for those with mental health conditions, such as depression, bipolar disorder, or another mental illness. However, therapy can also help people with daily challenges on their mental health journey, from relationship concerns to high stress levels to low self-esteem and more. In general, your provider can help you learn healthy coping skills to help improve your overall emotional well-being.

Is online therapy more affordable than in-person therapy?
Many people find online therapy to be more affordable than in-person therapy. For example, in-person therapy can cost $100 to $350 per session without insurance, whereas BetterHelp typically costs between $70 and $100 per week without insurance. (The exact cost may depend on location, referral source, preferences, therapist availability, and any applicable discounts or promotions that might apply.) Also, some BetterHelp therapists who serve Fort Lauderdale may now accept select insurance plans, which could further lower the costs of online therapy for eligible users.
