is there any way to get better help any cheaper.

Knowing that you want therapy and would benefit from it but are struggling with the cost is a terrible place to be. Therapy is a place where you can come and talk about the issues and struggles you are having in life and feel heard and understood. I believe in taking a positive approach to helping clients to problem solve the issues they are having in life. 

Betterhelp offers a way for subscribers and therapists to meet by video conference, phone session or live text chat. I believe in and practice brief solution focused therapy which usually consists of twelve in person sessions. Most of my subscribers tell me that they feel they have significant progress and feel much better after just four live sessions of therapy. 

A quick google search on betterhelp promotions showed me several different options offering various discounts and promotions. They seem to have promotions going on frequently. The pricing on betterhelp is already cheaper than many other therapy options both in person and online. There are several different types of payment plans and the longer term plan you choose the cheaper per live session the rate is.

I firmly believe that one of the greatest benefits of the BetterHelp platform is the asynchronous messaging where therapist and subscribers can message each other back and fourth between live sessions.  While I am a believer that financial stressors are some of the toughest ones we face in our lives, anyone who has made significant progress in therapy would likely tell you that it was more than worth the monetary cost that they put into it. Another thing they might say is that there is no amount of money that would make them feel as good as therapy does.  I have had several people tell me over the course of my career that they wish that they had started therapy so much sooner. Perhaps the question you should be asking yourself is this: How much is it costing you to NOT have therapy? The answer may not be something we can measure in monetary dollars, but neither are the results which can be priceless. 

I would reach out to support at contact@betterhelp.com  and tell them that you are interested in getting therapy and to ask them if there are any ways in which you can get a better or discounted rate.
