Thanks for your question.
Betterhelp offers various subscriptions for its members. Betterhelp also provides financial assistance for its members as well. We want to make online counseling affordable. Each type of therapy practice helps you grow as a person. BetterHelp and our mental health counselors strive to make online counseling a pleasant and affordable experience, regardless of your medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
How much does therapy cost?
Therapy costs range from $60 to $90 and are billed monthly.
In comparison, seeing an in-person counselor costs an average of $75-$150 per session. You can browse the therapist's profiles and find someone who meets your needs. Once you've selected the online counselor for your needs, it's up to them to determine if you're a client, they can service.
Budgeting for therapy
Anyone can choose to improve their mental health through therapy. Suppose you don't qualify for sliding scale therapy or therapy at a community mental health agency. In that case, you can probably squeeze enough money from your budget to take this vital step. Review your budget for anything you can cut to make room for it. Remember that if you have a short-term or situational problem, this will be a temporary item in your budget.
It would be best if you also considered that therapy might be worth continuing after the reason you started services is resolved. It can be nice to have continued support from someone who understands what you have been through, and this should be worth considering when budgeting for counseling services (ongoing or not).
