extremely truthful…Betterhelp Billing… review of better aid i have actually been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i believe i have actually used it long enough to know what are the advantages and disadvantages so i’m going to walk you through all of those and after that give you my last ideas on whether or not i would advise better assistance and whether i believe it’s the ideal service for you for those of you that do not understand betterhelp is an online counseling platform that links individuals who are trying to find therapy or therapy with psychological health specialists it’s a pretty basic process to get started so first you complete an online survey it asks you some concerns that will much better help match you with a counselor or a therapist so after you complete what i would call a quite prolonged questionnaire they ask you to develop an account and then you established your payment preferences i’ll discuss this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can lower the cost and after that you can likewise change your choice on how often
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly but you can likewise pay beforehand which will make the expense cheaper for you general and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the previously pointed out survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not necessarily the case and i believe that better aid uses both types of psychological health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to speak with them and you can set up a time to have your first official meeting so it can either be through a video call through a routine telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls however it is good to know that all four choices three truly to me however they say it’s four are offered and i know that’s absolutely great for some individuals who are maybe a little bit more nervous about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the web browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and then you wait for your counselor to sign up with and they will link you to the session when they do a little bell ring and after that you’re ready to go and you can begin having your your conference throughout your first session you’re probably going to have simply a learn more about you kind of session to determine why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your preferences as someone participating in treatment what are your therapists choices and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the very first meeting and after that with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can speak about your issues and whatever it is that you want to address and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor in particular i think this does vary by therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have paid for all of my sessions beforehand to get that cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the greatest pros of much better help is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it extremely convenient and really accessible for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a range of various methods to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you suggestions about your consultation so it’s pretty hard to forget when you have a time established they send you both email suggestions and text suggestions and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely reliable and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to anyone who uses betterhelp completely free of charge it’s at no extra expense to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not great in fact it kind of sucks particularly considering that much better help in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to link you to their network i suggest i guess they’re selling the network but i think really what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty clunky there are no choices for screen sharing Betterhelp Billing
