brutally honest…Betterhelp Stock Ipo… evaluation of much better help i have actually been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i believe i have actually utilized it enough time to know what are the benefits and drawbacks so i’m going to walk you through all of those and then give you my final thoughts on whether i would recommend better assistance and whether or not i believe it’s the ideal service for you for those of you that do not understand betterhelp is an online therapy platform that connects individuals who are trying to find therapy or therapy with psychological health specialists it’s a pretty basic procedure to start so first you submit an online questionnaire it asks you some concerns that will much better assist match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you submit what i would call a pretty lengthy questionnaire they ask you to produce an account and then you established your payment preferences i’ll talk about this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the rate and after that you can also alter your preference on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive however you can also pay in advance and that will make the cost less expensive for you overall and after that based upon your answers to your questions in the formerly mentioned survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not necessarily the case and i think that better assistance provides both kinds of psychological health experts so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to consult with them and you can establish a time to have your first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a routine telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls but it is good to know that all four options three truly to me but they state it’s four are offered and i know that’s absolutely great for some people who are perhaps a little bit more anxious about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call since it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and after that you await your therapist to sign up with and they will connect you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can begin having your your conference throughout your very first session you’re probably going to have simply a learn more about you type of session to find out why are you interested in therapy what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as someone participating in treatment what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first meeting and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can talk about your issues and whatever it is that you want to address and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your therapist so with my therapist in particular i think this does vary by therapist however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have actually paid for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the greatest pros of better aid is that it is an online counseling service which makes it very accessible and really hassle-free for most people as long as you have a web connection you can pick a range of various ways to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or phone calls they send you reminders about your visit so it’s quite challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail reminders and text tips and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely efficient and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to any person who uses betterhelp completely free of charge it’s at no additional expense to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not very good in fact it kind of sucks especially thinking about that better aid in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i mean i guess they’re selling the network however i believe truly what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp Stock Ipo
or talking or messaging throughout a session images are shared very strangely they’re shared as files and you can just send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse choose the photo then put it in and then the individual can’t see a preview of the picture they need to click into the file to see it it’s simply really outdated small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it actually produces a line break so
