extremely sincere…Apa On Better Help And Betterhelp… review of better assistance i have actually been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i believe i have actually used it enough time to know what are the cons and pros so i’m going to walk you through all of those and after that offer you my final thoughts on whether i would advise much better help and whether i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that don’t know betterhelp is an online therapy platform that connects people who are searching for counseling or therapy with psychological health professionals it’s a pretty simple procedure to start so first you complete an online questionnaire it asks you some concerns that will much better assist match you with a counselor or a therapist so after you fill out what i would call a pretty lengthy survey they ask you to develop an account and after that you established your payment choices i’ll discuss this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the cost and after that you can also change your choice on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive but you can also pay beforehand which will make the cost more affordable for you general and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the previously discussed questionnaire 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 always the case and i think that better aid uses both types of psychological health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to consult with them and you can establish a time to have your first main conference so it can either be through a video call through a regular telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls but it is great to understand that all 4 choices 3 really to me however they state it’s 4 are readily available and i know that’s definitely good for some individuals who are maybe a bit more nervous about treatment or not interested in 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 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 join 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 start having your your meeting during your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a learn more about you kind of session to figure out why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as someone attending therapy what are your counselors preferences and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the 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 discuss your problems and whatever it is that you want to resolve and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or however you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i think this does differ by therapist however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have actually spent for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the greatest pros of better assistance is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it extremely practical and extremely accessible for many people as long as you have a web connection you can select a range of different ways to meet your counselor so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you suggestions about your consultation so it’s quite tough to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail suggestions and text pointers 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 however uh certainly efficient and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to any person who utilizes betterhelp totally free of charge it’s at no extra expense to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being said in my opinion the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of draws specifically thinking about that much better aid in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re offering the network however i believe truly what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite cumbersome there are no choices for screen sharing Apa On Better Help And Betterhelp
