they ask you to produce an account …Betterhelp Tv Commercial…and after that you established your payment choices i’ll discuss this a little bit more later however there are scholarships that can reduce the price and then you can also alter your choice on how typically
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can also pay ahead of time which will make the cost more affordable for you total and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the formerly discussed questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not necessarily the case and i think that better assistance provides both kinds of mental health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to speak with them and you can set up a time to have your first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a regular phone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls however it is good to understand that all 4 options 3 actually to me but they say it’s 4 are available and i know that’s certainly great for some individuals who are perhaps a little bit more anxious about treatment or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet 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 counselor to sign up with and they will link you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can start having your your meeting throughout your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a be familiar with you kind of session to determine why are you interested in 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 design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can discuss your issues and whatever it is that you want to deal with and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i believe this does differ 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 ahead of time to get that more affordable rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the most significant pros of much better assistance is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it extremely convenient and very accessible for most people as long as you have a web connection you can select a range of different ways to meet with your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you reminders about your visit so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email reminders and text tips and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely reliable and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are offered to anyone who uses betterhelp entirely totally free it’s at no additional cost 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 particularly thinking about that much better aid in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re selling the network but i think actually what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp Tv Commercial
or messaging or chatting throughout a session photos are shared extremely 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 select the picture then put it in and after that the person can’t see a preview of the image 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 do not send it actually creates a line break so
