they ask you to produce an account …Invoice From Payer Betterhelp…and after that you set up your payment preferences i’ll discuss this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can decrease the cost and after that you can also alter your preference on how frequently
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey however you can likewise pay ahead of time and that will make the expense less expensive for you general and then based upon your answers to your questions in the previously mentioned 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 always the case and i think that much better aid provides both types of mental health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to talk to them and you can establish a time to have your very first main conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls however it is excellent to understand that all four alternatives three really to me but they say it’s 4 are readily available and i know that’s certainly good for some individuals who are perhaps a little bit more nervous about therapy or not interested in doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them uneasy 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 await 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 start having your your meeting throughout your very first session you’re probably going to have just a get to know you kind of session to find out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you want to resolve what are your preferences as somebody going to therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first meeting and then 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 wish to attend to and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i think this does vary by counselor 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 ahead of time to get that cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the biggest pros of better aid is that it is an online counseling service which makes it really accessible and extremely practical for the majority of people as long as you have a web 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 appointment so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email tips and text reminders and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a couple of 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 type of sessions that are available to anybody who uses betterhelp totally for free it’s at no extra expense to what you currently pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being said in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not very good in fact it type of sucks particularly thinking about that better aid in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can utilize to connect you to their network i indicate i guess they’re selling the network but i believe actually what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no alternatives for screen sharing Invoice From Payer Betterhelp
