completely honest…Better Help Investor Presentation… evaluation of better assistance i’ve been using the service for a little over a year now and i believe i have actually utilized it enough time to understand what are the benefits and drawbacks so i’m going to walk you through all of those and after that provide you my final ideas on whether i would suggest better help and whether i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that do not know betterhelp is an online counseling platform that links people who are looking for counseling or therapy with mental health specialists it’s a quite simple procedure to get going so initially you fill out an online survey 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 prolonged questionnaire they ask you to create an account and after that you set up your payment choices i’ll discuss this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the cost and then you can also change your choice on how often
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive but you can also pay ahead of time and that will make the expense more affordable for you total and after that 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 however that’s not necessarily the case and i believe that much better assistance provides both types of psychological health experts so just 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 official meeting 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 4 choices three really to me however they say it’s 4 are available and i understand that’s certainly helpful for some individuals who are maybe a bit more nervous about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call because 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 then you wait for 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 conference during your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a get to know you kind of session to determine why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as someone participating in therapy what are your therapists preferences and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first meeting and then with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can speak about your problems and whatever it is that you want to resolve and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you spent for it or however you set it up with your therapist so with my therapist in particular i think this does differ by counselor however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have 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 much better assistance is that it is an online therapy service which makes it very accessible and extremely hassle-free for most people as long as you have a web connection you can choose a range of various methods to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or phone calls they send you suggestions about your appointment so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both email suggestions and text pointers and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly 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 any person who utilizes betterhelp completely totally free it’s at no extra expense to what you currently pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not very good in fact it sort of draws particularly thinking about that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to link you to their network i suggest i guess they’re selling the network however i think really what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s quite clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Better Help Investor Presentation
