brutally sincere…Better Help Pitch Deck… evaluation of better aid i’ve been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i think i have actually utilized it long enough to know what are the benefits and drawbacks so i’m going to walk you through all of those and after that give you my last ideas on whether or not i would advise much better aid and whether i think it’s the ideal service for you for those of you that don’t understand betterhelp is an online counseling platform that links people who are looking for therapy or treatment with mental health professionals it’s a quite simple procedure to get started so first you submit an online survey it asks you some questions that will better help match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you fill out what i would call a quite lengthy survey they ask you to develop an account and then you set up your payment choices i’ll talk about this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can lower the rate and after that you can likewise change your preference on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey but you can also pay beforehand and that will make the expense less expensive for you total and then based on your answers to your questions in the formerly mentioned survey 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 believe that better help 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 very first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine phone call or through a chat or instant message i always do video calls however it is great to understand that all four alternatives three really to me but they say it’s four are readily available and i understand that’s certainly good for some people who are perhaps a bit more nervous about therapy or not thinking about doing a video call because it makes them unpleasant 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 after that you await 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 begin having your your conference during your very first session you’re most likely going to have simply a get to know you type of session to figure out why are you interested in therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as someone participating in treatment what are your counselors preferences and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first conference 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 issues and whatever it is that you want to attend to and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or nevertheless you set it up with your therapist so with my counselor 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 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 believe among the most significant pros of much better assistance is that it is an online therapy service which makes it really accessible and really practical for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a range of various ways to meet your counselor so you can do text message video calls or telephone call they send you pointers about your appointment so it’s pretty difficult to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail pointers and text tips and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however 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 available to anybody who utilizes betterhelp totally totally free it’s at no extra expense to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not excellent in fact it kind of draws especially thinking about that much better help in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling 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 think actually what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite cumbersome there are no options for screen sharing Better Help Pitch Deck
