How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Some think that therapy is just for treating mental health conditions like anxiety or bipolar disorder. However, almost anyone can benefit from seeking therapy, even if they don’t have a mental illness. 

For example, therapy may be helpful to you if you’re experiencing concerns like:

• Relationship issues
• Major life transitions
• Difficulties with stress management
• Trouble with anger management

You may just need a safe place to speak openly about how you’re feeling and receive support. In almost any life circumstance, therapy can often help a person better navigate life’s challenges, promote personal growth, and improve overall well-being. 

How soon can I meet with a therapist?

With BetterHelp, you can schedule a session with your therapist as soon as you've been matched with one. This timeline can vary depending on factors like provider availability.

Who are the BetterHelp therapists?

BetterHelp therapists are trained and licensed mental health professionals. They come from various backgrounds and hold a range of titles, such as licensed mental health counselor, licensed clinical social worker, or licensed family and marriage therapist. 

All BetterHelp therapists—whether they’re clinical social workers or psychologists—have extensive hands-on experience and use evidence-based practices. They are typically passionate about the mental health field and have spent years training to provide the best care possible.

Is online therapy more affordable than in-person therapy?

Online therapy is generally more affordable than in-person therapy without insurance. For example, weekly sessions through BetterHelp cost $70 to $100 per week without insurance, depending on location, preferences, referral source, any applicable discounts, and therapist availability.

What can I expect at my first therapy session?

During the first session, you’ll likely cover some logistics too. For example, your therapist might explain what to expect from sessions and how to contact them between sessions. The two of you may discuss scheduling for future appointments as well. 

How can I get started with BetterHelp?
