they ask you to produce an account …Betterhelp Facebook Ads…and then you established your payment choices i’ll talk about this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can lower the rate and after that you can likewise alter your choice on how frequently
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey but you can also pay ahead of time and that will make the cost more affordable for you total and then based on your answers to your concerns in the formerly pointed out questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not always the case and i believe that better aid uses both kinds of psychological health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to speak to them and you can establish a time to have your very first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine call or through a chat or instant message i always do video calls however it is excellent to know that all four alternatives three truly to me however they state it’s 4 are readily available and i understand that’s definitely good for some individuals who are possibly a little bit more worried about therapy 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 web 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 wait on your therapist 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 meeting during your very first session you’re probably going to have simply a get to know you type of session to find out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your preferences as someone participating in therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the 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 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 paid for it or however you set it up with your counselor 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 paid for all of my sessions beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the biggest pros of much better assistance is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it extremely hassle-free and very accessible for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a range of different methods to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you tips about your visit so it’s pretty difficult to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail tips and text pointers and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh certainly effective and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anybody who uses betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no additional cost to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my opinion the app and the platform is not excellent in fact it kind of sucks particularly thinking about that much better aid in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i mean i guess they’re offering the network however i believe really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s quite clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp Facebook Ads
